?? for those who had fill during surgery

[jtejada 0]

I was told they puy 3-4 cc's in my band at time of surgery. I've since had one fill of 1 cc. That takes me to a total of 4-5 cc's in a 10 cc band. Still not enough though. Can't wait til my next fill.

I was VERY suprised when at my first fill the PA pulled out 4cc's and put 1 more in for a ttl of 5 only one month after surgery (6/19/09). Still no restriction, only supressed appitite for longer. I still eat, just less then before. I have my next fill in 3 weeks. Wish I had less cc's in my 10 cc band and more restriction.

When I went in for my first fill, six weeks after surgery, my PA was shocked when he pulled out 5cc. He said that was the most he ever had seen. He did a fill of 4.8, which put me at 9.8. Great restriction. Another month later, I went back for my second check up, and he thought we should try a little more. He put in another 1.2cc, which put me at 11 in a 14cc band.

The next week, I went back because I was unable to eat any type of solid food without pain, massive slime and pb'ing, and he took out 0.5cc, so right now I'm back at 10.5cc, which is good. I have enough restriction to make me think about how much and what I eat, without the pb'ing.

I've lost 56 pounds since April 23.

I just found out today that my surgeon put 2.2 cc's in my band with a Max fill of 4 cc's. Im only a week out but feel A LOT restriction. I don't think that I will need a fill for quite some time.

I finally had a yogurt for the first time tonight, and after 4 oz I was very full.
