My first fill was 1.5 cc. My doctor said they do conservative fill amounts. First fill was a breeze. Took a day for things to settle down as far as eating solids. I am a few days past my second fill and this one hasn't been so easy. I may be a little too tight but am hoping things may settle in a few more days. I am seeing my doctor sooner this month so I am hoping to ride it out til I see her. But if it stays like I am now I may need a bit of an un-fill.

How long between fills was it for you?

How long between fills was it for you?

I did a fill every two weeks for 6 weeks then once month . So 4 fills so far since my surgery 1.5.12. I still do not feel restriction. I have lost 39 lbs. Have now started to gain a couple of lbs. Back. My next fill isn't until 5.30.12. Wish it was sooner.

Because of scheduling conflicts, my first fill was two months after surgery and second fill was one month after that.

Today is my first fill also, I will let you know how it goes... Excited and nervous at the same time.

My surgery was on 3-16-12 and my first fill was on the 6th of April... It wasn't as bad as I had anticipated... (I have a HUGE fear of needles!!!) didn't feel much restriction, but my second was yesterday and I feel a little more restriction then the first one... My doctor does fills every 3-4 weeks... My next fill is the 16th of May...

I had my first fill today, 2cc today for a total of 4cc. My band has a max of 10cc,

What's the deal on different band holding different amounts :blink:?
