How much was your 1st fill

I'm curious what some people get as their first fill. How many CC's. I know that different bands are different sizes so that must be taken into account. I am just 3 weeks out and my doctor is one that waits at least 6 weeks and checks if you are till losing weight. If you are then the fill gets pushed back. I forgot to ask what goes into the band and what stays in the port tubing on a first fill. I would think the tubing holds fluild too. Again I'm just curious and woud lke to get an idea of the different ranges that doctors use. I have a realize band. Thanks for any information.

I have a 10cc band and my Dr put in 5cc's for the first fill. I went back for my second fill on Monday and they put in another 2cc's. Its been a rough few days but I think I finally may have adjusted to the fill.
