What is "normal" amount of first fill?

[clg8579 0]

Hello all,

Banded on May 26th by Dr. Ortiz and first fill scheduled 6/29 by Dr. Pleatman. I don't know why but I'm having a tough time with this first fill idea. Mexico (7 hour flight) or Bloomfield Hills (2 hour drive)? Originally, I just planned on flying to Mexico every time because Dr. Ortiz told me they tend to be more aggressive then US doctors. I don't want to have to keep going for numerous fills because a doctor is being too conservative! But, I figured I needed (somewhat) local care. Unfortunately, Dr. Pleatman does not use fluoro (sp), which is bugging me. It's getting really close and I need to make up my mind about this. I have a 10.0cm band. Does anyone know what the "normal" amount of fill should be for the first time? Maybe I should call Pleatman's office and ask what they normally do the first time? Thanks for your help!

I would suggest calling your doc. Different docs have different "normals."

Your milage may vary.
