I went in to the doctors office for the second time since my surgery on 7/1/10. I keeping thinking that everytime im going in its for a fill but i havent had my first fill and its been over a month!! y next appoinment is in September....how long does it take to get your first fill??

I don't know what the "standard" is - but I got my first fill @ 6 weeks...

Same here, 6 weeks.

I had my surgery on the same day as you and my doc won't give me my first fill until Sept 1st. When I asked why she waits so long, she said she want to absolutely make sure that all the swelling has gone down.

I also couldn't help but notice that you and I have also lost the same amount of weight thus far!:tongue2: We should totally become lap-band buddies.

Edit: OMG! I also just saw that you're also in Sacramento! Dr. Machado?

I had surgery on July16th and I am scheduled for my 1st fill on Aug 31th. (6 weeks)

I had my surgery on June 29, 2010 and have been back to see my Dr. 2 times also. I am schedule for a fill August 23.......almost 8 weeks after surgery : (

Surgery date was Jun 28, my 1st fill appointment is scheduled for Aug 11 so that's about 6 weeks as well.

I had surgery on June 30th and had my first fill on August 3rd. I only got one cc so I have a total of 3 in my 10cc band. I go back on the 17th for another fill. At least I hope so, I have had no restriction and want to feel that this is actually doing something!
