DwayneH Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I have had 3 fills. First at occ 3 cc's. Second and third fill in calgary 1 cc each time. I dont seem to have restriction and my weight loss is stalled. just wondering what amount of fill other people had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I now have 7.6cc's in the Johnson and Johnson, Realize Band. ( I think it holds 11cc's total) I still do not have any restriction. Dr So at the OCC told me after 7.5cc's the next fill is usually only .5-1cc. so be careful your next fill. I had an overfill on a "blind fill" so I am not going to push it too fast. It is sure easier to lose weight if your band is helping you fill full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyMarie Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I have 2.2 CCs in a 4 CC band and am unable to get anymore fills. I hit the goal that was set for me and if I want to lose anymore weight I must do it with diet and more exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the west coast and will likely go back to the OCC but am looking for someone in BC or Alberta to do a fill under fluro and wondered if your Calgary doc used fluro? Thanks for your help!

DwayneH Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 They do the fills blind. The girl is really good but they are very cautious only going 1 cc at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagyourit Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I got my second fill this past weekend and I am now at 5.5cc in the 11 cc band. I have a good restriction and am having to focus a lot more on chewing and slowing down. I am hoping this fill helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliveat55 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I have 10.4cc's, if my fill center is figuring it correctly, and only a small restriction!! I had surgery 1 year ago, lost 12 pounds early on, have gained all 12 back. I guess I just don't get it! The band really does not help control portion size for me, at least not enough to lose. I plan to go back to OCC one more time to see if they can help me understand why... if not, just a big disappointment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would head back to the OCC as soon as you can so they can take a look under Flouro and make sure all is well. Maybe just .2-.6 cc's will be all you need to hit your "sweet spot" . Let us know what you find out. How many fills have you had to get to 10.3 cc's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aliveat55 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I sure will! Thanks! I think probably 10!! I went to a fill center in Olympia, Washington. They took me up by half cc's, all done under flouro. I spent a small fortune! I refuse to go to them anymore. If I get any more fills, it will be OCC only.
