first fill today

I went for my first fill this morning. I have to admit I was a little more nervous than I thought I would be. My doctor done the fill today at the hospital under flouroscopy, but they will be done in the office from now on. He put 4 cc's in, is that around the typical amount they put in the first time? Or does it depend on the doctor?

 Congrats on the first fill!  

My doctor put in 4 cc's first fill - in the office not under flouroscopy.  But I have seen different fills on the boards so I believe it all depends on the doctor.  I go for my second fill end of February.

Yea!  The first fill is over.  My first fill was also 4 cc's but mine was done in the office.  Hope you got some restriction going on!  :D

They put 3 at my doctors office. I convince them to do 4, but did not pass the swallow test, so they removed 1cc.

Thank you guys for your responses. I am feeling some restriction, not quite as much as I would like but better than none. I have got to start exercising more though. I am going back to water aerobics Monday and I am so ready!

We don't have anyone around my area that does water aerobics but I would love to try that. I know that would be something I could stick with. I can't remember what my first fill was but it was close to 4cc's I'm sure. If that doesn't give you the restriction you need don't hesitate to go back next month for more. That is what we are suppose to do :) I'm going tomorrow for another fill because it's prob been 4 months since I've been there and that is prob why I've gained so much weight. Never miss an appt! you will get off track and it's so hard to get back on. ALWAYS do what your Dr. tells you to :) I am also going to start exercisng this week.. I've been snowed in for 3 weeks now and it's killin me. We have a little gym here that is called Fit Chicks and it's for all women. I really like it.. Keep us updated and I hope I survive my fill tomorrow and don't get too tight.. Take Care!
