4 to 5 weeks after surgery is usually how long til theyll give u a fill

My doctor does fills every 6 weeks. I was banded on 3/28/12, today got my first fill 5cc's. Hopefully will get restriction now.

I had lap band surgery on April 9th and my first fill is scheduled for June 6th.

6 weeks, but i called my doctor and complained about having gained weight so I went in at 5 weeks.

I was banded on 4/23 my first fill is scheduled for 5/24

I was banded on April 12th. My first fill is May 18th, originally scheduled May 11th. I can't wait. I've been stuck at a 23 Ib weight loss for several weeks now.

I had my first fill today. My surgery was 4-12-12. So, I waited a little over a month. She told me today that if I can still eat more than a burger and not feel full call & get another fill whether that's 2wks, 2mo's, or years. So, I don't think it's a time frame at least not with my doctor.

I had my surgery in November 2010 and my dr had me go in 3 weeks after surgery and every 3weeks after that for the first 90 days cause that's what my insurance covered! It worked great for me that way....I followed everything to a T and within a year I lost 110 lbs! Good Luck everyone :-)

First fill today and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!!! Wooooo!
