Survey: How many cc's did you get in your first fill?

I'm curious:

How many cc's did YOU get in your first fill?

How many cc's do YOU normally get per fill?

I know every doc and every pt is different, just curious to hear. I'll do some math and put up some averages/statistic etc. after enough people have responded. Yes, I'm a bit of a nerd. Thanks in advance!

I don't know how much I had per fill, but I've only had 2 and I am at 5.3. I don't know if that can help you, but if it can cool.

He tried to give me 3cc my first fill but I was immediately gurgling Water back up so he took 1cc back out.

Since then, my fills range between .5cc and even as small as .1cc.

I currently have 5.2cc in my 10cc band

I had 3 fills for a total of 1.5. I go for another fill in 2 weeks. My last appointment I said no to a fill and I am sorry I refused because I let things get to me and have been bad having ice cream (soft serve-no cone) too often.

3.5cc the first time. Now I typically get .25cc or so.

I have only had one fill of 2ccs since being banded 1/30/12.

I had no fill at the time of surgery, 6 weeks later I got my first fill of 4cc. Since I've had 4 more fills of 1cc each. I am currently at 8cc in a 11cc Realize band and finally feeling restriction and I love it. I generally don't feel anything different after a fill until a week or so later.

4 cc in a 10 cc band for first fill. I now have 6.5cc.

I was banded with 3cc's and had another 1cc added 3 weeks after surgery. I felt no restriction and was hungry after that and my doctor added another .5. That's when the problems started - but I know what's wrong. I'm drinking too soon before a meal and sometimes during a meal. I'm going to do right though, I don't want to hurt myself or get unfilled yet. No drinking while eating...I'm learning that really quickly and it's not just because it washes the food down too quickly!

I have a 14cc band with over 14cc of fluid. I started out with 3cc of priming fluid from surgery. My first fill was 3cc, second fill was 2cc, and third fill was 1cc. I got several fills of around 1cc and then started dropping down to around .5cc or even .2cc as I got closer to my green zone.

3 cc's at time of surgery, and every fill thereafter was a different amount. First fill was 1.2 cc's. second was 1 cc. Third fill was .8 cc's. fourth fill was 2 cc's (thank you different nurse for helping me to get to the green zone faster!). Last fill was .6 cc's. now have a total of 8.6 cc's of fluid in a 14 cc band

Well, I have no idea lo! He told me after my port revision but when I see him in August I will ask again.

  • 3 weeks later...

5 cc the first fill, still no restriction, another 5 cc second fill. Now I have restriction :)
