Thank you!!! How many Cc's did you get your first fill and how much total from surgery if they put any in?

I'm not sure how much from surgery, but she took everything out, then put a total of 4.4 cc's in at my fill. What about you?

Everyone is different. Every person will be adjusted according to their needs.

I didn't have my first adjustment until eight weeks out because of swelling from my hiatal hernia repair keeping me in my Green Zone until about seven weeks out from surgery. When I went in for my eight week aftercare appointment, I learned that my surgeon primed my band with 5 cc of Fluid and my NP and I decided to start me with a 1/2 cc adjustment and that was my only adjustment. I am pretty happy there.

My advice is to take it slow. You can always have more Fluid added but if you are over filled, you can be very miserable and if you don't jump on it and get that fluid out, immediately, you can do real harm to yourself. Get a small adjustment up, take it out for a test drive and see how it works for you then, if necessary, get a little more, then go from there.

Good luck.
