5-6 weeks after surgery seems to be typical

i can't take it i called my doctor and had them change my apt cause i am so hungry and i shouldnt be i just had a shake a hour ago. so i have my first fill on the 14th of oct instead of nov 5th

I had mine 3 weeks after surgery.

mine is in 7 weeks.

My first fill was one month out.

My doc will ONLY do them 6 weeks apart from each other beginning at week 6 post op. I had to have an unfill at my last appt. and now I'm starving and eating all kinds of crap (old habits creeping back) and they still are making me wait the damn 6 weeks

My surgeon won't let us go more than a month without an evaluation. His protocol is 4ccs at 4 weeks out from surgery.
