Maytee Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Ok, I can see so many of us starting to get fills. Is there a standard amount or an average amount of saline they inject? How do they determine that? Maytee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMichelle Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I think each doctor is different, but there were 5 of us that all got a fill on 4/18 and 3 girls got 1.7cc and 2 girls got 1.6cc so it seems that to be the range of a first fill at the OCC. The fill amount is determined by the speed of the barium flowing through the filled band, I got 1.6cc and saw Hanna get 1.7cc and our barium flowed at about the same speed (mine might have been a little slower even though I had less of a fill).

sparetire Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 i have a 10cc band and got 5ccs put in on my first fill I also have the VG band and had 3 cc's put in. He tried 3.5 but that was too much so he took out .5cc. My sister got .8 cc's but he started with 1.2cc's. The measure carefully and check via fluoro as to how fast it goes through.
