Hi all

I had my second fill today. I had 4ml on the day or surgery, 2.5 ml on the 19/1 and 1.5 ml today. That's a total of 8ml. Does that seem to be an average for people or does that seem to be quite tight?

I know that evryone is different but just an average would be nice :rose:

Hey Emmsie,

I had 2ml on day of surgery and another 2ml at my first fill - making a total of 4ml. My surgeon says most people sit around 6ml and he doesnt have anyone with more than 7.5ml. Having said that, everyone is different.

I hope they put at least 3ml in when I go next week.

emmsie,

do you have an 10cc band? It's taken me 5 fills to get to 6.75cc and I'm pretty well restricted now. How are you going though? Are you able to drink liquids without difficulty? If so, you're probably fine.

your with cirlce of care balkham hills are you not. My work collegue that goes to that clinic, has 9 mls in her band. she has no probs with it.... good luck

Wow, I got no fill on surgery day. I don't get any till the 19th of March, and my restriction is wearing off... I apparently have the smallest band there is though. Dunno if that makes a difference.

hi to everyone im from england and i got banded in november last year. On december 16 i had fill to 5 ml and had 2nd fill january 19 to 6ml it was tight at first but now wearing off i need another fill they told me i wouldnt be able to have more than 8ml or i wouldnt be able to swallow my saliva

Has anybody else been told this

I seem to be coping ok. I managed to eat a sausage sanwich for lunch with fresh white bread and didnt have any issues except for the fact that the sausage was cold by the time I finished

Feeling very PMS - even feel like some chocolate which is a sure sign

Had my second fill today, they gave me 1.3ml to take me to 5.3ml in total. I hope I feel restriction now!!!
