got my first fill today



Recommended Posts

So I got my first fill today and let me tell you it was NOTHING. I was so worried that it was going to hurt. I barely felt it at all, seriously! What a breeze! I do have a question though. My doc wanted to put in 2cc's but he could only get 1cc in. I guess it started to come back in the syringe. I know they start off slow, but does anyone know the reason why they wouldn't be able to get more in at 1 time? I am worried that at my next fill, which is in 2 weeks that they will only be able to get 1cc in at a time. Can everyone tell me how much Fluid is in their band and how many fills it took to get them to their "sweet spot"

Thanks in advance!:smile2:

Also were you put on liquids for the first day and then allowed mushies the next day?

The PA at my surgeon's office normally put 3-4ccs in 11cc bands. I told her I wanted half of that. She put in 2cc and then had to pull 1cc out, because I was too restricted. So...I have 1cc in my 11cc band for now.:cool2:

you were too restricted with 2cc's? Wow I got 1cc my first fill, just had my second one yesterday of 2 so right now I have 3cc's and I feel nothing lol. I guess its different for everyone. Another member on here told me he had his first fill today and they put 4.5 cc's in the first time. I thought that sounded like alot for the first time. I guess each doctor does it differently.

      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...

        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.
