So I went for my 1st fill today. Kind of nervously excited about it. Since I don't have a scale at home I didn't know if I've lost any weight this past month since my last check-up (so 6 wks post-op). I lost 10 lbs in the last 4 wks!

Nut said no reason to give me a fill since I've done so well. He said to come back in 4-6 wks, but if I felt hungrier I could come back sooner.

I know it's hard to judge, but do you think I'll be on of those lucky ones who doesn't need a fill? Or does this staying full last only so long? He said I probably have about 2 cc's in my band from surgery.

It's a little strange, but I almost feel a little sad I didn't get a fill. Nut laughed and said he could poke me with the needle if I wanted!

I'm just glad I'm still losing. I was so afraid I'd be one of those that didn't lose anything.

You could be one of the lucky ones! I'm in the same boat. I went in for my first fill about a month or so back and told my surgeon I'm not hungry at all and I had lost a lot more weight since surgery. He made a comment that I'm doing better than a bypass patient. Who knows!

I'm still losing today, without a fill, though I've hit some plateaus, but they're to be expected.

Good luck!

My first fill was postponed too. By the time I went back I couldn't wait toget my fill because I was so starving!! I got 1cc filled for a total of 4. He said he'd see me in 6-8 weeks but I'm going back in 4 (which will be this tues) because I feel like my portions are too large and I'm still hungry. I'm thinking maybe I was still swollen when I originally went in for a fill. It's definitely a matter of what you eat as well and with that said it's going to be a learning process!
