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??

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
