I was banded 5/14/10 and was wondering who else has not had a fill yet? I don't know if it's just what my doctor does or what.. Has anyone else went this long without a fill?

I was banded 3/2/10 and have lost about 50 lbs. I have had no fills and was told my band was not filled at the time of surgery. So you are not alone, and as long as you are losing I would say you are doing fine

Wow you are doing good, keep up the good work.. Thank you

Nope no fills yet and I was banded 5/14/10. I'm scheduled for the first one on 6/29 and I think that's 6weeks postop which seems to be standard. My doctor was going to push for 5 weeks but I will be out of town the following weekend and I didn't want to risk complications when I'm in a different state. I've been losing weight post op but that comes with some effort. I don't think I need a lot at my first fill for it to help me along.

My surgeon waits a minimum of 6 weeks between surgery and the first fill.

I was banded 5/17 and do not go for my first fill until July 6th! It can't get here fast enough! :thumbup:

Thank You everyone for answering me back I fill better about my fill not being any sooner.. I'm with you palm my appointment is on the 30th of June and it can not come any sooner.. LOL

It took me 4 fills to get into the "greenzone". Hang in there you'll get there.:thumbup:
