Second Fill

[soon2bskinny 0]

Does anyone else have the 11cm band? I had surgery in Mexico and this is the one I choose. My first fill was 3cc and I had good restriction for about a month. I am now scheduled for my second fill on 9-11. I was just wondering if anyone has this size band and how much their second fill was. I drive a long way to get a fill and do not want to have to go back in a few weeks. I was thinking about 2 or 3 cc's but I am not sure. Also has any heard of having something other that saline put into the bigger bands. I am assuming she was refering to the solution they use in the Swiss band. She said sometimes the saline difusses out of the larger bands so the sometimes use the mixture. Does it make a difference? I want the stuff that doesn't diffuse just in case if it doesn't matter. Any feedback would help.

Thanks,

Sandy

I have the 11cm band too. I got 6cc on my first fill and I am not convinced it will be enough. They filled mine with a mix of saline and iodine so they could see it on the laproscopy. The directions were in the packaging they gave me after surgery.
