My first fill was 3cc. Yet again all Drs are different.

You really don't want to get a huge fill b/c you could blow right past your green zone.

My Dr said the average fill to green zone is usually between 4 cc-7.5cc

All doctors are different so it really depends on your doctor. Some do up to 5, some 1 or 2 cc.

I had 4 cc in a 10cc band the day of surgery and one cc the 2 times it wasn't until the last .5 that did the trick so its a total of 6.5 cc and so far great.

A lot of people seem to think they need to decide how much of a fill to get before they go to the doctor. I would not even worry about that, just go in and tell your surgeon exactly what's been going on. That is, what your eating when and what the hunger situation is. Then let him use his expertise to decide how much a fill to give you. The first fill several people mentioned is going to be the biggest- the tubing that leads from the port to the band needs to be filled. Good luck and keep on track until you get that fill- you seem like you are doing great.

My Dr. put in 3.6 cc's at the time of surgery. So far, I've had 2 fills. The first one was only 2 weeks ago (3 1/2 months after surgery) and he only put in 1 cc. I had my second fill of 1.6 cc today for a total of 6.2 in my 10cc band. Hopefully, I'm on my way to the green zone :) Reading everyone's posts here though, it looks like everyone is different and what works for one might not work for another. I log my food and even though I may be hungry, I don't over and I measure everything.

I just think I shouldn't feel this hungry I eat twice a day saled and a shake in the morning 1/2 cup of chicken or beef and romain or spinich tomatoe and cottage cheese or Italian dressing

You should be eating 3 meals a day.

3oz of solid Protein 1/4 veggies1/4 good carbs.

Previous poster is right, everything you're eating besides chicken & beef is slider food.

Dr & Nut said salad is a slider and not to eat it until you are in the green zone.

I would be starving too if I ate your menu! If I get hungry between meals I'll have a cup of herbal tea or SF hot chocolate. Takes the edge off.

the band wont stop you from filling hungry (nor will a fill)

it will help you eat less

if you are hungry, eat a Protein filled food.

Proteins will help you stay full longer (it does for me and i have no fills yet)

also, drink alot. it could be head hunger

but if you are hungry eat. just eat smart.

just my thoughts/opinions.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
