im up for my first fill in a week. i have an empty 10 cc band and am wondering in general, how many cc's do they put in for the first fill. id rather not have to go back 4-5 times at 1 cc at a time. id rather them be a bit more aggressive than to nickel and dime me to death. i have to drive a long way for a fill and there 250 each. could add up fast.

I also have a 10cc band and had my first fill on 9/26 and am scheduled for my second on 11/7. My surgeon explained that they put 2cc in on surgery day and they put 3cc in at first fill for a total of five. My doctor had me do two days of liquid post fill and I believe that was a good idea; I imagine all doctors do things their own way and of course it is up to us to follow the program. I have felt restriction but definitely think I need more. I can eat more than I will be able to at sweet spot but haven’t been pushing it.

Stay the course brother we are just starting the ride of and for our lives, good luck and God speed.

BTW Jack thanks for all the great input and advice it is incredibly valuable to us new comers.
