Only 2cc's for first fill?

[fatgirlinNY 0]

Ok so I had my first fill today and she only put in 2cc's.

Dosen't this seem low?

I have an 11cc band:blushing:

Not low at all. I have the same size band you do. I only had 2cc at my first fill and ended up in the ER that night so swollen that I could not even swallow my own saliva.

Trust me, you want a conservative doctor. You don't want to be miserable right off the bat. Give it time and you will come along just fine.

Its best to have little fills at a time to stop any complications

Heck, some doctors would have put in even less. My first fill was 4 ccs on top of .6cc in the band, and I didn't make it to work before I had to turn around and go back and get an unfill. Be comfortable with what you got. It's no fun at all being too tight!

As my signature shows, 2.25 cc in a 10cc band, I have my 6 month follow up, not sure what will happen there. If they want to try more, I'm willing.

what is "normal" or the average for a fill?

Im also feeling "uncomfortable" is this normal, some pain, nothing major

Moon: I think normal depends on the surgeon. Mine normally does 4ccs at the first fill, but I didn't want that much.

fatgirl (not much longer): define uncomfortable. If you are having trouble drinking fluids or swallowing, no, that isn't normal. Call you doctor. If it just feels different and tighter when eating, then yes, that is normal.
