Re: Fills Q&A'a

Is your band empty when you come out of surgery?
my doctor filled mine to 3cc

How long do you wait before your first and in between fills?
My first fill is going to be 6 weeks after surgery. After that its about every 4 weeks.

How much saline does the band hold?
I think mine holds 10cc


If you ask your doctor to be aggressive with the amount he puts in your band for optimal weight loss will he/she?
normally they will fill a little and let you sip on water to figure out how much would be the best for you

Can you request a fill or does the doctor have to advise it?
My doctor just says every month until you reach your sweet spot and then after that you request it but every doctor is different.
