Inamed recommends patients receive 2 cc for their first adjustment 6 weeks after surgery.

That's what I got.

They then recommend .5 cc every 4 weeks until you reach that spot. I got that with 1 fill of .5 cc.

Inamed really knows their stuff.

Thanks for this information. I have my first fill on Monday, Oct. 20, 2008. I'm curious as to how much my doctor will fill. She's very conservative. I hope I do get the 2cc's.

I had my surgery in August and I have had 3 fills so far My third fill was just on thursday. Right now I am at 4.5 cc's in a 10cc band...the thing is, everyone else seems to have way less in their bands and are feeling really full. I am not sure if this is my sweet spot or not. It is alot harder to get stuff down (not throwing it up but I can feel it go down if I don't chew really good) but I feel like I can still eat more then I should at 1 time. I am not getting that full feeling early enough. It makes me wonder if I am going to need another fill? How will I know??

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
