Only One Cc?

[thunderbeast77 59]

Got my first fill this morning and zoinks did it hurt more than I expected. Nothing horrific but I'm not looking forward to that again haha.

Anyway, my surgeon only put 1 cc in. That seems like nothing... Is that normal for a first fill?

Also I'm feeling slightly naseaus after drinking is that normal?

Also could anyone else feel the saline? It was weird and hard to explain but my stomach got cold like when you get an IV. Totally weird.

I'm getting 1st fill at Dr pattersons office next week & wondered the same things. I heard they start off really slow as far as the cc's. I'm pretty damn nervous. Silly thinking I just had a major surgery. Congrats on your success so far

Hey Nikki! Thats who did mine! Figure out what you wanna say to her before you go in she's in and out like a jack rabbit!!!

She didn't use any numbing stuff or give me an option which was kinda a bummer since apparently my port is at a weird angle (oopses being too active too quickly) and so it took a couple tries. It hurt but like I said nothing horrible.

When was your surgery? Mine was July 11th. How you doing? Having a hometown surgery buddy might be nice!

Thanks for the heads up I had surgery July 25th. Feeling much better now. Does Patterson actually do the fill or one of the pa's? How are you doing on smaller bites? What a bizarre transition to go through, right? Anyway, I'm down to hang or get together any time I'll pm you my number

Every surgeon is different. My first fill was 3ccs and my second one was 2ccs. At my first fill, I definitely felt the coolness of the saline as he filled it. Quite weird.

Good luck and best wishes

Even .5 cc of Fluid can make a major difference in restriction, so starting out slow is not unreasonable.

My surgeon prefers it that way; he really dislikes unfilling a band that was over filled. I've found that "baby steps" with increasing the amount of Fluid in my band has been the correct speed for me.
