Difficult Fill

[kldill 0]

I had a fill on August 4th. My doctor had a difficult time sticking me. After several attempts, he finally got in. I have a 10cc band. He gave me a .3cc fill to bring volume up 2.0cc. My problem is that I don't think any Fluid is in there. I have no restriction. I have had as much as 2.5cc in the past. I have another appointment on September 8th. I am trying to watch what I eat. Is it possible that he didn't put the fluid back in, or could it have leaked out?

I thought my doctors are conservative but yours are really conservative. I have a 10 cc band. It started out with 2 cc from surgery. The 2nd fill was another 2 cc. I still had no restriction with that 4 cc. The 3rd fill was another cc bringing me to 5. I could finally feel some restriction at 5 but 6.5 to 7 was just right for me personally. My band slipped & they unfilled me completely. The band went back into place so they've started my fills again. She started with 3 cc which is the most she'll give at one time. I can't tell any difference with 3 cc than I did with a completely empty band.

Anyway, I said all that to say... Give it time. You will get there. I wouldn't worry that the fill isn't in there, just that it's not enough yet. Good luck!
