tifagirl 23 Posted April 2, 2013 mine was 3 trips. I had 2.5 in at surgery then a month later 1cc. A month later 1.5cc and another month later .5cc. so i have 5.5 in my 10cc band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
line-dancer 810 Posted April 2, 2013 mine was 3 the first time . Each doctor decides how much they put in each time. I got 4cc at the time of the band then 1.5cc then 1cc in a 10 cc band Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted April 2, 2013 4 fills for the first time I hit the Green Zone, but as I lost weight and my stomach shrank I ended up needing another small fill months later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Debbie3sons 1,936 Posted April 3, 2013 I am working on this question as now I have 10 cc's in a 14 cc band and have had five fills , but I am noticing how full and stuck I get on some foods so I don't eat them any more so I am down to 224 lbs from 276 I started this journey Sept 28 , but I really quit doing soda and sugary stuff in July after my first visit to the surgeon , but like I said I had the band placed in Sept. 28th so bout oct is when I really started lol and I am still trying it seems slow but that's o k cause I don't want any back .

SueBee01 630 Posted April 3, 2013 One fill 14 months ago. I think it was 3cc. I had so much to lose my dr wanted me to have at least one because he said your stomach will shrink. I am never hungry, have never been sick or stuck (knocking on wood!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kileybug34 173 Posted April 3, 2013 My first fill was 3/20/13 and I had 3 cc's put in. I have lost a steady 1-2 lbs a week since then. Not sure if it is the green zone, but I am really never hungry anymore and I can only eat 1/2 to 1 cup of food.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
