I have the new Realize C band...11cc. I will be getting my first fill next week (7.5 weeks post op). I know every Dr is different but just curious as to how much of a fill you got on your first fill or following fills.

Just wondering if a bigger band start out with bigger fills.

Thanks for your responses.

I had my first fill several days ago and I asked my doctor what size band (Realize) that I have?  She said that I have a 9cc band.  So, I asked her why I have a 9 when others I have seen [on OH] have an 11cc band.  She explained to me that it had to do with the size of your stomach and the way it is shaped/sitting.  So, I asked her if 11cc'ers got a first fill of 4cc's (like me) and she said yes.  But, she also told me that as we all progress and have more added - the 11cc'ers would get a bit more each time [than me].  I hope this helps...  I was so curious to find out why I got a 9 if there is an 11 available.  I wanted to make sure I was getting the full value of the band!  LOL...
