I was banded on May 11th and my first fill is scheduled for next week. Is it possible to get filled earlier b/c i hardly have any restriction?

Thanks

I think it is possible, but your practice has the final say. Have you called and asked to have it moved to this week?

Mine refused to do it any earlier simply because you need to learn what you can and can not eat (we say no restriction but reality is we really have some. Not enough to really stop us from eating what we want, but we do have to be a lot more careful about how we eat it and how we chew it) and you have to give your stomach time to heal from the initial shock of the surgery. I keep thinking I want to ask him to be a bit more agressive on the fills, but then I think the time in between is nice to 'learn' my new restrictions, rather then going from zero to full all at once!
