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



Recommended Posts

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.

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 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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
