How much was your first fill?



Recommended Posts

I realize band sizes vary, but please humor me. How many cc's were put in at you first fill and what was you level of restriction? :confused2:

My first fill was 2 ccs. The doctor told me that he put the band in empty so I guess all I have now is 2 ccs. I don't have much restriction but I do get stuck more often than I did before the fill.

Hi, I have a 10 cc band and had my first fill Friday. The Dr. put in 3 cc's. Feels like I need a little more. He said most people end up with 5 to 7 cc's.

I have a 10cc band. Here is my band fill history:

surgery: 3ccs (no restriction)

4 weeks post op: +2ccs (no restriction)

5 weeks post op: +0.5ccs (no restriction)

5.5 weeks post op: +0.5ccs (no restriction)

6 weeks post op: +0.75cc's (restriction)!!!!

So now I'm at 6.75 cc's and at restriction which is a wonderful thing!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
