I had my 1st fill 6 weeks out and I have a 14cc band and had 4cc put in. To be honest I've had some restriction from day one. There are days I'm hungrier easier but overall I've stuck to my small portions. I had my fill just done normally with no numbing it wasn't bad at all. My doctor is really good

I had to wait 14 weeks for my first fill due to medical complications, and had only 3 cc's put in as I've had some restriction since having my band placed. After 2 fills, I'm only at 3.5cc's. My surgeon did not want to increase the restriction at all as I am scheduled for surgery this week.

At this rate, I believe 4cc's will be the most restriction I want to have. Since my second fill, my level of restriction has increased significantly.

I had 3cc's put in my first fill, which was 6 weeks after surgery. A week later I had another 2cc's put in. I feel some restriction, but not much. I have a 14cc band though. So its obviously a bit bigger, takes more to fill it up.

My 1st fill was 6 weeks after surgery. I had 3ccs put in while swallowing the white chalky substance under the X-ray machine. No restriction just swelling from the fill. I had to be on liquids for 2 days after. I also have an 11cc band.
