OverFill ????

Ok so I've been reading some of the threads and I just realized the the relize band only holds 9cc's. I went to see my doctor a few weeks ago and she said I was at 9.7cc's! Should I be concerned?:thumbup: I'm not sure if I should call her and ask because she did not seem to concerned about it.

I would call. I'd be worried there might be a leak somewhere. Or, if not, that an overfill could do damage to the band itself.

My Dr does overfill the band but that didnt sit well with me. Luckily I finally got restriction at 8.8 in my 9 band because even though they told me it wouldnt be a problem to overfill the band, just the increase of chance of complications from that isnt something I would have done.

Well I called and of course my doctor is out of town. I feel fine but I do know that I'm not getting any more fills. I don't want any complications. I have been doing great and I don't want anything to stop my progress.

Are you a Realize or Realize-C? The C holds more than 9 ccs, I believe it's 11 ccs.

I was right there...but you know what I told them to take it all out and guess what?!!?!?! I was only at 7.6cc and it was down on paper that I had 10ccs...so we started over and now I have 8.7cc and have been there for 6 months with no needed fills...and I have restriction!! Don't know how long it will last but so far so good!!! That is my suggestion ask them to take it all out and check for leaks of course but my bet is there might be an error somewhere in the amounts actually in there it happens!!!
