Liquid in band at time of surgery

[blacktxbelle 99]

Has anyone else had liquid put in their band and left in at the time of surgery. I found that I had 5 cc at the time of surgery at my first fill. I now have 5.7 cc anyone else?

I had 5 cc as well...my first fill they put .2 cc....so now I have 5.2 cc. It helped me not hit the three week stall...thats for sure.

I didn't have a primed band but I wondered at first if I had because I wasn't hungry for a few weeks following surgery. My hunger just took a while to return but I think that's because I am an inflammation type and I was just swollen from the surgery. There are lots of people who have primed bands -- will make it easier to get to the Green Zone, I imagine, but also you will need to be careful about all those behavior changes like chewing, chewing, chewing and not shoveling in food. I was such a shoveler! Good luck to all -- you are doing great!

Mine doesn't have an liquid in it ... and I've not had my first fill yet. That will happen on 9-9-14.

I'm anxiously awaiting my first fill tomorrow. My appetite has been ravenous. I'm ready for the green zone.

I had 3 cc put in my band at the time of surgery. I am now at 5.25 cc which the doctor has stated is my green zone

I am always hungry. No fills yet

My hunger hasn't been bad it has only increased in this last week. Chewing is going relatively well. I should have known there were fluids in my band when eggs stumbled down once (they didn't get stuck but it was very uncomfortable).

I had 2cc in my band when it was placed. It was removed when I had food get stuck. It was replaced on my first fill in June. I'm waiting for my second fill 8-29-14.

I had 4 cc when I left - had it removed 2 days after due to swelling causing me to dry heave constantly. Had 2.5 put in at 3 weeks post op.
