Am nervous because my doc had left 3cc in my band at the end of surgery. I went today to get my first fill and he went from 3 to 6 cc's.... Is this normal? I only have the standard band, which is 10cc max, right? I very nauseous tonight. Everything goes down just very slowly. Should I be concerned?

If I were you, make sure you do liquids the first 2 days and mushies on day 3, then start regular food on the 4th day. I have had fluid taken out 2 times where my band was filled less than I am now. But I know it is because I started eating reg food right away,more than likely I was swollen from the fill. Good luck. I have a size 10 band too and I am filled to 6.85. I still fee like I need a little bit more, can't wait for my appt in 2 weeks.

I want to ty for ur post.... I am doing my best to do the diet the way I am suppose to and get the inflammation down... I really don't like how it always feels like there is something stuck, even though I can feel Water pass right through slowly. I am also on my cycle which I have been told can also add more swelling. I hope in a week or two this feels more comfortable.

TOM can definatley make you feel tighter. I agree with previous poster. Take your progression diet really slowly.
