  1. I'm slightly confused as to what your question is, but my surgeon said as soon as we were eating normal food it was time for the first fill if you were not still experiencing restriction. I had surgery 6/13 and my first fill 7/15.

    I'm not sure what the size of your band would have to do with the timing of your fills though.

    Some people who have had the lapband before me said 1 month was too soon to have a fill after surgery and i Just wanted to make sure that i was right on schedule with the fills. Thanks for your reply


  2. Thanks so much for your reply I just needed to know that i'm on the right track.

    I also have a 10 cm/4cc capacity LapBand and have had 8 fills in 15 months and am just barely reaching restriction. I would say count your blessings that your doctor is so aggressive with fills. If you find it difficult to keep food down, then go back in for a slight de-fill. Otherwise, be grateful that you are on your way to finding restriction so soon. I am 16 months post-op and am already filled 1cc over the limit and still trying to find the sweet spot.

    Best of luck to you.
