1. How often you have had a fill in the first 6 months? (e.g. roughly every month, 6 weeks, 2 months etc.) or

2. The number of fills you had in the first 6 months?

I had my first fill at 4 weeks, on a Friday, then the next fill the next day, Saturday (went to Belgium and stayed overnight)

Then I had third and fourth fills in Feb (about 10 weeks post op)

Defill in June then refill in July cos of Scarlet fever. . . that was all I had in the first yr.

Hope this helps

Hi, I found this forum from reading Catherine's blog (Chronicles from Band Land).

I had my band fitted in Belgium in Dec 07. I was miserable and middle aged and had been fat and or on diet all my life. At 220 pounds I was desperate for help

And I got it. My band journey hasn't been easy or simple, but it has really been worth while. I am 128 pounds maintaining my weight now and thinking about maybe getting plastic surgery (first on the list would be a face lift - or maybe a tummy tuck; and a breast uplift. . . if only, I will have to save up!)

Looking forward to being part of this forum - I am on another Weight Loss Surgery Forum, but it is not all bands, a lot of bypasses; and the aftercare for bands is quite different.

HI, I am also in the UK, and was banded in Belgium by Dr Chris in Dec 07.

I'm thinking about the Tummy Tuck.< /p>
