I have an appointment on the 6th.. they put 4cc in the first visit. I am feeling pretty good. I don't have trouble with any foods and never feel really "full" but I feel great and have been losing regularly. Are you all planning on getting the second fill? I was thinking of waiting since the weight is coming off..

I had my surgery Aug. 19, and just this last Friday 9/24 had my first fill, 1.6cc is what I had put in, and that was enough to notice a difference, so far I'm down 23lbs.

I'm hopefully getting my first fill Oct 19th. My surgeon won't do fills until 8 weeks post op. I haven't lost in over a week and also feel I can eat anything.

I just recieved my first fill today and my surgeon put in 2cc's. My surgery was 8/11/11. He also advised that if I feel that I need another fill call the office in a month and schedule an appointment. I see now that my surgeon is a slow boogey type of guy.

Have had 2 fills and a 3rd is scheduled for 10/19. My surgery was 8/4. I definately noticed the difference after the 2nd fill. I have a 10cc band and currently have 4 cc's in fills (2 each fill). Doctor is pleased as I have now lost 40 pounds.

My first fill will be in a bit over a week. I'm maintaining a loss of 35 lbs. but not losing. I can eat nothing right now, but I've managed to keep with the rules pretty well.

Surgery was 8/12--14cc band with 5cc. 1st fill was 9/12, 3cc (total of 8cc). 2nd fill 9/28 of 2cc (total of 10cc) I still do not feel any restriction. Hopefully, the third time will be a charm...

What is the liquid capacity a band can hold?? 10cc's? I now have 3 cc's and I go back in 4 weeks. If I am losing weight I dont know if my doctor will give me a fill. He thinks all is good if the weight is coming off!

It depends there are many volumes, I know mine is a 11 cc band

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
