So I had my first fill 2 weeks ago, my Dr. put 1cc in my 4cc band. Yesterday when I went back to get my 2nd fill, they said I hardly had any in it??? Whats up with that??? They ended up putting 1.5 cc in it--and I was sick allll day afterwards. SO my question is, have any of you had this happen? Thanks in advance!

My first fill was with Saline and I went back a week after because I did not feel ANY different at all. They checed and sure enough the fill was gone. So, they used OmniPaq - a thicker solution. I have had 3 fills since then all with OmniPaq and not had another problem. I was told that the band sometimes aborbes the saline - not sure why! So, you may want to ask for the OmniPaq, it works much better.

3.5cc in a 4cc band! Still not much restriction but steady weight loss!
