Getting a fill?????

[mandyb 3]

Hello,

Just a question about fills! I am supposed to get my first fill on Thursday the 13th. honestly don't think I need one. I am averaging about 3 1/2 to 4 lbs a week. I was banded on 12/6. I am finally getting comfortable and adjusting to the forgien object in my body.

I have introduced some fruits and veggies and today introduced a 1/2 of a 1/2 english muffin (made eng. muffin pizzas for lunch). I am not able to eat much (but at times I am also scared to eat). Afraid something will get stuck.

So I guess I am just asking what anyone else would do? If you are losing this much a week would you still get a fill? I was thinking about calling the dr to let them know, and maybe save me a trip to the dr. But not sure if he will still want to see me anyways!

Advise or input would be appreciated!

Thanks,

if you are still losing weight I would wait on the fill. I waited until week 7 and they gave me two thirds of what they normally fill someone. I still had pretty good restriction I was just getting hungrier sooner than 4 hours. But listen to your body dont feel like you need a fill at 6 weeks because everyone else does.

I agree- you probably don't need a fill since your hunger is very much under control. Your doc. will probably want to see you anyway, but honestly I don't think I would bother. Of course, the choice is yours. Congrats on your weight loss.
