4.5 ccs for a first fill?

[NYC1992 135]

Got my first fill this past Monday... I said I was feeling zero restriction at all since I was no longer sore, so I was given 4.5 ccs in my 14 cc band... is this common/normal? Just wondering because people seem to have a lot less...

My first fill I was given 3.5cc & two weeks later I was still having no restriction and gained 2lbs in 2 weeks so I got another fill. I have ALOT more restriction. I believe I'm at about 5cc in a 10cc band now.

Mine was 5 cc on my first fill, then .75 cc on my second and no fill for my 3rd appointment.

My doc tried to do 3.5 CC, but I freaked out when the Water he gave me to drink didn't go down right away. So he removed a little. I wish I had gotten 4.5 CC as that is pretty much where I'm at after the second fill and still not feeling any restriction. Appetite seems to be the same as pre surgery.

I'm not going to be a wimp in the future. As long as liquids go down, they can put as much saline in me as they think is appropriate.

But, I have to say, that fill you got does seem rather large for a first fill. Personally, I think they are doing you a service though by not wasting your time.
