I had my first fill a month post op, and my second one a month after that and my 3rd one 2 weeks after that but only because I called them and told them I was making very poor food choices and I didn't think the fill was working. I am scheduled for an appt. on 3/21/2011 and will probably get another fill then. Good Luck to you and stay positive - remember the band is a tool for weight loss NOT a solution -you have to work at it every day - both mentally and physically.

I had my Lap-band surgery on November 18, 2011 and I really feel so much better. My problem is when I get a fill (I've had 3 now). I don't feel any different and really only feel a slight restriction for about a week. I'm thinking that should be different. I don't know if I'm not telling my doctor something right so I'm not getting enough. I really don't know how I'm supposed to feel while he is giving me the fill. Are there any signs that I should feel to make me know what to tell the doctor so I'm sure I'm getting a good fill. I'm scheduled for an appointment on 3/21/2011 and know that I will be getting a fill as I have no restrictions now and can pretty much eat what I want - when I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks - jeanne
