Hey guys Pre-op here but In doing some reading I'm seeing some people comment that their doctors/pa/rn will only give a certain amount of fill at each visit no negotiations. And will only allow a fill every six weeks.

Is that normal?

I know that fill volume is subjective to each individual. But I also don't see how saying there is no fill standard & then turning around and saying this is our fill standards makes sense.

I also observe that 3-4cc is a good place to start if your band had no liquid in it at surgery.

I'd appreciate your wisdom on this.

Thanks!

Wow Pheath, I would definitely find a new doctor as well.

As an RN I could never withhold information from a patient, it's unfathomable

I agree!

Hi in the UK they inform you to carry a card around with type of band also the amount it is fill, just in case you need to have operation of any kind, or indeed have any problems and need to go to AE. I think everyone has the right to know what is going in their body.he has no right to withhold this information.
