First Fill 5Cc!

[Ready2BFit 33]

Wow it took my three fills and i am at 4.6ccs in my 10cc band with ALOT of restrictions. For my appointment on the 7th of August, I might ask for only .5cc but I can't keep anything down since my fill last Tuesday.

I have a 12cc band & my doc does 5 1/2 for 1st fill. I got 4 1/2 last week. I get to go back next week for 4 more ccs. Dont feel super restricted.

So is 5CC too much to start out with in a 11 cc band? I thought that was too much but I drank some Water and it went down ok. She said the normal cc is 8 in a 11 cc band.

you are lucky that you could tolerate that much... YOu are off to a great start.

i had 3ccs in an 11cc band for first fill... second fill i had one cc... i couldnt tolerate that extra cc so i had to get half that cc taken out. my next appointment is 18th august. Im only just managing now ... not sure whether i can take anymore at the moment.

I have the realize band and it took me to 10.6 cc 's in a 11 cc band to get restriction; so in hind site I wish my NP had been more agressive with fills.

I have the Realize band as well. My first fill was also 5cc. I have had two more additional fills since at 1cc a piece for a total of 7cc. I am due for another fill appointment on Monday and haven't decided if I want more. I feel I am in the zone and I usually stay satisfied for about 3.5 to 4 hours. My cravings and head hunger are gone and my appetite has diminished greatly.

I may ask for .5 cc not sure. I see the Nutritionist this Friday so I will get her opinion on things.

I just had my first fill today and have the realize 11cc band. He put in 6cc and everything seems great. Hope everything goes well for you.

It really varies....some people can tolerate 5ccs and some can't. I have a 10cc band and my first fill 4 years ago was 2.5ccs. I've went up and down in ccs since then with my highest being 4.4 and I could barely keep liquids down with tht fill. I am now at 3.9 and pretty much have the perfect fill.....for me. If 5ccs works for you, go for it for a little while and see how it goes.
