Mine had a little in it, but I'm not sure how much.

Some Dr's do put fluid in and some don't. Mine personally just pulls out the air and replaces with liquid (primer), so no real fill, but I have seen some with surgery fills up to 5cc.

I have 2cc's in mine from surgery as well I was banded 12/13/11 and haven't had any more put in at this point

I had 4ccs placed in my band at the time of surgery

I had 7 ccs put in my 10cc band on 5/2

Everytime I hear of doctors leaving fill in the band during surgery the person needs to have it removed because they are having trouble with liquids post op. Not trying to scare you but if you are not getting liquids down call them because you can easily become dehydrated.

My Dr. put 3cc in band at surgery and then I had to go back the next day, because of swelling I was not able to get water or even spit down. I felt like I was hell for several hours until they hit me with the Deladid. I just went for my 1st post-op appointment today and I am down 8lbs in 1 week. I go back in 2 weeks to maybe get a fill. I have decided I only want a little at a time.........I am fill scared. :wacko:

well i have a 11cc band and my doctor told me during the surgery he put in 4cc. but i dont have any restrictions. I feel like i can eat and eat. But i dont i do whatever i was told. I havent throw up and i have been able to tolerate all of my liquids.
