Fill during surgery?

[Trikki87 20]

My doctor added saline during the procedure (not that I'm complaining) I didn't think they did that. Anybody have saline added during the surgery?

I haven't been banded yet, but I've read on this forum that many doctors do give fills on surgery day.

I had 4cc put in now I have 6.5cc after 3 fills the fills are so important so keep them up. what they put in already wont really do anything right away its just a base.

Many surgeons will put just enough saline in the band during surgery to ensure the band is lubricated. Most fills don't occur until 4-6 weeks after surgery. I have a 10 cc. band and now have 6 cc's in it, but you just can't go by other people. Every body is different and will require different amounts. Do plenty of research, and I guarantee some of your questions will be answered without even posting here.

Yeah I did. Doc said it is to lubricate it.
