First fill today

What would you consider a normal amount for a fill? Today was my first fill and my doctor grave me a 1cc fill. Just wasn't sure what amount was normal or is it more MD specific?

  • I am not sure what my band was filled with during surgery. I really can't tell any difference since he filled it yesterday. We did have the conversation of how much was I able to eat , any problems

MD specific. It's going to depend on some different factors.

Some doctors like you to sneak up on restriction/satiety because it takes some time to learn how to eat like a Bandster.

How much was put in during surgery? If he put in 5 CCs then 1 CC now is about right?

How did your Q&A go before the fill? Did you tell him you're starving or that you're eating less due to the band?

Did you lose a lot of weight since surgery?

But, 1 CC is rather anemic from what I've read?

I am not sure what my band was filled with during surgery. I really can't tell any difference since he filled it yesterday. We did have the conversation of how much was I able to eat , any problems with food passing etc. prior to my fill yesterday. However, my weight loss has been averaging a pound a week and definitely can tell more in my clothes. So I am satisfied with my decision. Definitely been a good thing for me.

Your doctor wants your body to recover slowly and get use to any restriction. Be patient on your weight loss, It took you a lifetime to gain the weight. 1cc at a time if necessary.

My first fill was .8cc and I had nothing added to my band during surgery. I have my second fill tomorrow, 2 weeks after 1st fill
