It depends on the band you have. I have a 4 cc band. I had my first fill yesterday. There was already .5cc in the band and I got 1.5cc more so I have a total of 2cc.

I don't really know so much about fills, but each person is different in the amount of restriction they get from fills. I've read that a lot of times that the first fill doesn't give much restriction and it takes a few fills to get decent restriction. Good luck!

I have a 4cc band, and got about 3cc in my first fill. So far, this seems to be good restriction for me. I have heard that as you lose weight, the band may loosen, so maybe I will need more of a fill later, but for now, I am content.

My first fill was 3 cc in a 9 cc Realize band.

I go March 19 for my 2nd fill but I don't know yet how much he'll put in.

I have 4.5 cc's in a 12 cc band. I've had 2 fills and still am able to eat anything. It's so interesting how different doctors are with band types and fill amounts.

Just had my 3rd fill this past Thursday, .6cc's, giving me 5.60 cc's in my 10cc band. So far, the restriction is great, and I am on mushies today, so have to see when I hit the solids on Monday..

I had my first fill on Wednesday, 1.8 cc in an empty 5 cc band. She told me she starts everyone out at 1.8 because she found when she started people at 2 cc about 50% of them got "sick as a dog" (her words) from it being too tight to start out with. She told me the 1.8 wouldn't be very tight on me and that I shouldn't panic if I didn't feel a lot of restriction yet. I can feel a little restriction, but I know I'm going to be ready for the second fill I've scheduled for April 19.

I was happy to see this thread. I've been curious what others were experiencing with their fills. I have a Realize 9cc band. 1st fill was 4cc & last Friday I got my 2nd fill with 2cc. I'm comfortable, I still don't have to chew bite into mush but I'm very aware I'm satisfied with less food. I'm enjoying the opportunity to learn more about myself & changing my habits.

Thanks for all your sharing.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
