WOW!! 4cc sounds like a lot for a first time fill. I thought I read somewhere that you shouldn't get a fill more than 2cc.

Thoughts out there. Donali chime in.

Oh My 4cc's??

That sounds like an awful lot. When I did the barium I was closed up totally at 3 cc's. I have never heard of anyone getting 4ccs their first fill. Could it of been 0.4cc's? At 4ccs how do you eat? Whatever you do..eat real slow and tiny bites and chew chew chew. 12.1cc's has been tough for me with certain foiods going down. 4cc's I could not eat! I hope it works out for you but if you have heartburn or reflux or can't keep food down make sure you call your doctor. Don't wait

Julie,

Did you have your fill under fluro? Did the doctor explain to you why he gave you 4cc? What type of band do you have? It seems like a lot of fill but may not be if you have an 11cc balloon.

What kind of band do you have? I have an AMI Swedish Band. I'm currently about 5.7cc's, but my first fill was only 1.75cc's and done under fluoroscopy.

4cc's doesn't sound right, too much. If your having problems, call the doctor.
