GinnyWhite · May 24, 2004

Well I went to the Dr. today for my first fill I was kinda freaked out but everything was cool. I was afraid that i had gained some of my weight back since it seems that I can rreally eat but all wa sgood I have lost a total of 22 pds since surgery 4/19 I was so relieved anyway I now have 1.2 cc is that pretty normal for a first fill? Thanks for your comments Ginny

Hi Ginny,

It is nice to hear that your fill went well and that you are doing so great with your weight loss. Keep up the great job!

I guess everyone is different, so it is hard to say if your first fill to 1.2 cc's is normal or not. Did your doc fill under floro? If so, then I would say that it is a good chance that you got a nice fill for your first try since the doctor can actually see how fast the Fluid moves through your stoma.

My doc does not do fills under floro and was told my the folks at Inamed to start the first fill at 1cc. I thought I had 1cc at my first fill, but when I was getting my second fill they discovered I only had about .5 cc... now I am apparently at 1cc. Let's just say... I have little to no restriction. I have to wait 3 more weeks for my next fill.

I hope you feel enough to continue on your successful weight loss journey.

Take Care,
