Second Fill Appointment Scheduled

When I got my first fill last week (1/27), I was told I could have another fill in two weeks if I still felt I was in the yellow zone (hungry between meals, eating large portions, etc.). They just told me to wait one week to see how I feel first and then I could call and schedule the next fill for the next week. Yesterday, I was crazy hungry all day... may have something to do w/starting back at Jazzercise. So, I called this morning to schedule my second fill (thinking it would probably take them at least another two weeks to get me in). Well, I was very pleasantly surprised that they can do my fill next Wednesday, 2/10 (so exactly 2 weeks after my first). Yay!!!

Its funny, when I tell my friends how I get stuck w/a needle and aren't supposed to eat for 72 hours after, they figure I would want to postpone as long as possible between fills. And, personally, I was a teensy weensy bit tempted to schedule this fill AFTER Valentine's Day since DH and I have reservations for a very nice dinner out. But, above anything else, I just want to get this show on the road. And, ultimately, this will be my life. I can still enjoy our V-Day dinner out, but savoring a small amount of food (maybe just getting an appetizer for my meal) rather than stuffing myself w/a 4 course meal. I am ready!!!

I've been so happy w/what the band has done for me already, but I am eager to get it working to its full potential. :smile2:

Hooray for 2 weeks between!! You'll get there fast! -BG

Lucky you! I've had to wait 5 weeks in between fills. I called two weeks after asking for another but was told that the doctor wouldn't do another so soon. I was banded on 12/17 and first fill received 1/8. UGH! I go next week 2/12 for my second fill. Like you, I'm ready to get this show on the road. I'm eating between 1 & 1 1/2 cup of food at each meal but could easily eat more. I'm ready to be at place where 5 or 6 bites of lean protein and veggies fill me up.

Good luck! Keep us posted.
