NWgirl 574 Posted May 4, 2012 Some Dr's do put Fluid in and some don't. Mine personally just pulls out the air and replaces with liquid (primer), so no real fill, but I have seen some with surgery fills up to 5cc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jennifer LaRusso 3 Posted May 4, 2012 I had 7 ccs put in my 10cc band on 5/2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted May 4, 2012 Everytime I hear of doctors leaving fill in the band during surgery the person needs to have it removed because they are having trouble with liquids post op. Not trying to scare you but if you are not getting liquids down call them because you can easily become dehydrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twins4me2 15 Posted May 4, 2012 My Dr. put 3cc in band at surgery and then I had to go back the next day, because of swelling I was not able to get Water or even spit down. I felt like I was hell for several hours until they hit me with the Deladid. I just went for my 1st post-op appointment today and I am down 8lbs in 1 week. I go back in 2 weeks to maybe get a fill. I have decided I only want a little at a time.........I am fill scared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
