How many fills can you get?

[SoccerMomma73 1,867]

I was just reading another board on here and someone had posted that they've had 3 fills and are holding off on the 4th because they know they can't get too many more. I have not heard nor read anything about fill limit previously and I've seen posts with people having 7 or 8. Has anyone been informed of a set limit and what is it? Thanks for your help!

There isn't a limit to the number of fills but there is a limit to the amount of saline that can be put in.

Here in Australia Dr's like to take the slow and steady approach so we tend to get lots of small fills e.g .2ml etc. in the US Drs appear to be more aggresive and seem to put in bigger fills eg 4ml etc.

Also every person is different and the amount that they need to reach their"sweet spot" will be different.I have a 10ml band and only have about 3ml total fill. Some people have far more than this. I believe with a Realize band that more fill is required to reach restriction and that some people even have more fill in than the supposed band capacity.

So the bottom line is don't worry. If you feel you need a fill go and see your Dr and they will work out what is best for you.

Oh I'm not worried and getting my fills as scheduled (number 2 is Monday WOOHOO!!!) I was just curious as I'd never heard anyone say anything about a limit on the number of fills before. Thanks for the info!
