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.

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, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
