I need to know from all you seasoned vet.s how long after surgery was your first fill? How much was it? I am freaking hungry! I was banded 8-3-2010, and I'm hoping that when I go to the Doc.in one week it will be for a fill!!!! Anyone, what's it gonna be?:thumbup:

I am 3 weeks post op, and i got my second fill today. i have a total of 7 cc now. I sure hope that i will see restriction now, because i have not felt it for 2 weeks.

I get my first fill next week, it will be 7-weeks post-op. I am so hungry all the time, I hope this helps a wee little bit. I was losing a pound every two weeks but this week I have gained 2.5 lbs. So Sad

Well my Dr. appointment is on the same day as yours. I have to drive for 45 minutes to get there cause I live in the country! I just don't want to drive all the way down there, and he says "O.K. come back in a week for a fill" Hey! I'm on a budget here! So I may break down and just call and find out. Why not!

1st fill 2mrw!!!!

First fill was today, six weeks after surgery. On Clear liquids for 24 hours. Just having Water and broth. Not hungry at all, right now

Not sure what size band I have. Dr. said he put in 4cc.

Next fill 10/14.

omg 3 weeks postop and second fill already? Be careful rapid fills too soon after surgery can cause problems. My doc says it can cause stomach erosion. I already had it trust me it isn't a fun time.

I'm 2 months post op 5.3cc in my band and that is already too fast.

No fill. Doc said I didnt need it bcuz I had good weight loss. I have mixed feelings about it, relieved yet disappointed.

over 40 lbs already! That's great! I can understand why your doc didnt give you a fill. This can be disappointing but you need to remember you must work with the band. So far you are working well with it.

No fill also gives your stomach more chance to heal which is good. The more your stomach heals the less chance of a complication.

mine is 8 weeks after surgery but i was told with the type of band they used on me i can get a fairly big fill the first time. in the meantime, i feel no restriction whatsoever.

My band is a 14cc band

2 months with no fill and today i had a 5 cc fill

At first i thought it was a lot,much more than i expected

I will see how it goes..
