My first fill is Jan. 13 and my Dr. told me he is planning on 6cc. That seems kind of high compared to what I read here on the posts. Anyone have any experience with a fill that high? Any thoughts or recommendations?

I had my first fill on Monday, and I got 4cc.  However, I am not feeling any restriction as of today.  I have heard that it may take a few weeks to feel a difference.

6cc sounds a little aggressive, but all surgeons are different.  My surgery was 9/15.  First fill on 10/28 at 3.5cc - second fill on 11/25 adding 1.5cc.  Total fill now at 5cc.  I didn't feel any restriction at all after the first fill, but have felt a comfortable amount of restriction since this second fill.

Hi Carol, my first fill was 5 cc and received a second fill (additional 1.5) in less than 10 days.  It is aggressive, but are you by chance a "Light Weight"?   Is your starting (pre-fill) BMI around 40?  If so, it is harder to get initial restriction for lightweights than it is for higher BMIs because there is not as much fat tissue and the band needs to be tighter for restriction.  Sonja
