  1. Glad it went well! Wow, that's an aggressive fill schedule...I'm jealous! I'd ask your doc next time: which type of band (LB or Realize), which size (LB comes in APS = Standard = 10cc, or APL = Large = 14cc and Realize comes in 4cc or 9cc I believe), and exactly how much fill you have (not just how much you had at your last fill, but most docs put a 'primer' fill in at surgery = about 2cc's and it's just enough to fill your port and tubing, mine did not do this). It's important to know in case you traveling and need an emergency unfill and I've seen several here that realized they had a leak (some docs take all the fill out before they add more just so they can check this...yes, your doc should know, but some caught this when their docs didn't). Also I've seen some here that have had a LOT of fills and unfills and by asking each time how much was added they get to know how much they need in or out. Sounds like you'll be at your Sweet Spot soon! Awesome WL! Hang in there! -BG
