Well I went for my 3rd fill today and I left feeling totally confused.It wasn't done by my surgeon but someone else on his team .

1st fill . 1.5ml

2nd fill. 1.ml

3rd fill .6ml

So the total should be 3.1ml right?

She drew what was in there out today before putting it back in and now my total is apparently 2.3ml. I was very confused and concerned that this meant I have a leak but she assured me that I haven't, that this is the adjusted total as they don't pull all the Fluid out.

Would anyone like to explain for me in simple terms what an adjusted fill is?

I was also surprised she put so little in as I have been struggling since the last fill 4 weeks ago but she told me I have lost 2kg (4.4lb) and that is really good!!! She even told me that we need to go slowly as I am close to what I should be. Not sure how she works that out - my BMI is still in the overweight range.

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday, the first time I had the assistant in my appointment and not the surgeon. I thought I was around 5 cc in a 14 cc band, and he said it was 5.9?

first fill 2.5

2nd fill 1.0

3rd .5

4th .5

5th .2

6th .2

When he drew it out it was about 6 (he couldn't get all out but it was close), and put in another .5, whew. My surgeon was going at .2 intervals. I can definitely feel more restriction this morning - finally can only sip that Protein shake rather than drink it...so here's hoping that the restriction continues!
