I keep reading about posts about restriction but I'm 4 weeks post op with my first fill set just a few days before Thanksgiving (which is also my birthday this year) and I'm wondering if I even need one. I can't imagine having less restriction than I have now. I am probably eating about 1000-1200 calories a day, which seems reasonable since it was not something I was able to hold to previously. Do I really need a fill?

If you're happy with the amount of food a day you're eating, then you won't need one.

At the end of the day, it's about how you feel and no one else can really determine that besides you.

If you feel satisfied after a meal for a good amount of time then it seems you've probably got enough in your band as it is.

I'm a little over 3mos post-op and havent had any fill yet. I have decent restriction & consistant weight loss. Do what you feel comfortable doing.
