Tiny fills....

[TeganRheana 1]

Anyone else had less than 1 ml fill and noticed a difference?? I only got .3 put in yesterday for my second fill and I'm not noticing anything So I'm now at an even 4mls in a 10ml band. Was hoping for some good restriction this time...my doc said I would feel it...does it gradually happen or do you immediately feel a difference once filled? Anyone??!! :confused: Feeling a little down today.

That is an awful small amount for a 2nd fill in a 10ccband. I would have thought you'd get at least 1cc. but all doctors are different. I'm down to .5cc every time now. Even with that I struggled through the first week after my last fill in being too tight. I get very swollen after each fill for some reason. He tried to give me a 1cc last time but had to take .5 out because I couldn't get Water down at the office, and I was still on water and tea for almost a week. I'm just super sensitive I guess.

My surgeon tried 5cc's for my first fill and it was too much so she took out .4cc's and I now have 4.6cc's. At first I thought it wasn't going to work. It seemed like I was hungry and didn't feel the restriction. That was on 08-04. Now, it seems to be tightening up and I feel the restriction better. But I also have bad days and better days. Sometimes I feel it really well and then the next day I seem really hungry and can eat more. It seems to be something you have to play with until you hit the proverbial "sweet spot" as they say. I'm not there yet but still losing weight.
