My first fill was 3 weeks ago (4 cc) today I got 2 cc.

It breaks down like this

My doc does it on a patient to patient basis, depending on your needs and how well you're doing. Mine equaled out to:-

First fill - 1.0ml

Second - 0.4ml

Third - 0.4ml

Fourth - 0.4ml

Fifth - 0.2ml

Sixth - 0.2ml

Seventh - 0.1ml

Eighth - 0.1ml

Ninth - 0.1ml

Tenth - 0.1ml

Eleventh - 0.1ml

Twelfth - 0.1ml

Total - 3.2ml in a 10cc band , which for me, is my perfect restriction :) I was lucky in the fact that after my first two visits, my doctor agreed to let me come in once a week until we found my sweet spot. He was very intent on not overfilling me and taking things slow, but in the end, that worked out great for me.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
