My surgery was 2/13, and today I have my first appointment with the Dietician and Nurse Practionier. I have already seen the surgeon 10 days after surgery, but that was nothing exciting. I am supposed to get my first fill today, but I have had so many breathing issues that started since the day after surgery. Removing the band is still on the table, so I am thinking they probably won't fill me. I am kinda bummed about that, since the point of having the surgery was to get fills and help me loose weight. However, I can't complain because since surgery I have lost 29lbs in 6 weeks, all while on Prendisone and other multiple steriods! Has anyone not been filled the first time?

I did not have a fill at my first appoinment either. I was in the green and nurse practionier stated I didn't need one. I went for my second appoinment this week and they gave me a fill.

thats going to be awful if you have to have the band removed. not bad going with the weight loss for that tie though... way to go. i hope you dont have to have it removed. i didnt have any fill when the band was inserted and probably wont have any fill at the end of next week either. thats my first visit with the dr.
