Hi Momof4

We had our surgery on the same day! I flew back out two weeks ago and had a fill by Dr. So. I received a 7cc fill which Dr. So agreed was aggressive. I wish you the best of luck finding a good fill Dr., but I recommend going back to the OCC.

So I am down in San Diego for a family vacation and thought I would just skip across the boarder for my first fill.

Sounds like a great idea right?

My appointment is tomorrow @ 10am and....

I just realized my passport is sitting on the table at home!!!

I am such an idiot!

You do need it for boarder crossing now right? could I just do it with my Drivers License?

I was really looking forward to my first fill and was really excited, but oh well, live and learn.

I will just have to fly down for the day at some point in the next month or so!

Sorry babe you must have your passport. I just came back from my first fill and u definetly have to have it.

I have 8cc's in my 11cc band. Does anyone have more than 8 in their band? My weightless has stopped but I'm reading 8cc's is normally the most one can go. Anyone have more than 8cc's??

Thx

I received 7cc on my first fill. I think that it depends which band you have. Dr. So said he would take me to 8.5cc next fill.

I have had more than 8cc in my lap band but it was way too tight, so i had all but 7 removed and that's where i've stayed

Where did you get the weight loss ticker??

I am going down on August 4th for a surgery date of August 6th. I would love to know if anyone else will be there. Does anyone have just one thing they wish they would have known right before or after that no one told them? Please tell me. I have learned so much on this forum but I want to try and ensure I don't make some of the mistakes I've read about either. I guess a mistake is bound to happen, but I'm trying to learn from all of yoU!

I had my band on the same day as you!! I have only lost 3 pounds since surgery, but am very optimistic!! Best wishes to you!!
