OK, I went in for my first fill today. The nurse was kind of shocked at the fill amount - 1.8cc and I have the 9.75 band.

I am so new to the fill thing, that I would like to know everyone's experience with this.

She said it was because I do not have a lot of fat around my stomach and that it is relatively small. Thus, the first fill would take a lot more than some people and that it may or may not last longer.

I read a post that was talking about these bands not being the "right" size for low bmi patients. (I don't know how I feel about the validity of this yet - as I would imagine that their intent was for people to get down to an appropriate bmi) Anyway - doesn't this mean that I am already 1/2 filled.

Please give me any feedback or expereinces, knowledge or otherwise. I am never one to freak out, but I would really like to know more about this!!

Thanks!!!!!!

my first fill was 4 cc. I did not feel any restriction after that..my second was 1cc, still nothing, and my third fill was 4 cc... Finally a little restriction. I had good restriction for about 4 days and then i went backwards. I really think my next fill im going to finally get to my sweet spot..my surgeon is aggressive with the fills.. Thanks god
