Where does the fill go?



Recommended Posts

At my first fill, the doctor gave me 1CC in a 4CC band.

My 2nd fill, she removed what was in the band, and all of a sudden, it wasn't 1CC anymore, it was only .6 - what happened to my fill, where did it go??

I'm at 1.4 right now in a 4 CC band - but who knows what it will be when I go in for my 3rd fill.

Where does the fill go? Will I see this all the time (part of my fill disappearing) or is this only something that would happen early on in the game?

Hi, the fill center I go to says this is normal for the first fill. Its somthing like priming the pump. This same thing happened to me but at the second fill it was all there. I have read about many people having this happen also. Probably nothing o worrie about. Good luck, vickie

I also had 1.5 at 1st fill when she went to pull it back out it was .5. She said it was completely normal, that it was in the line.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
