Am going for my 3 week check up next Wednesday and the nurse said the doctor will probably do my first full that day. Is that normal? Does that seem too early?

Just wondering...

I had my first fill at 3 1/2 weeks. If you've healed up well then it's probably not a big deal.

had mine at 3 wks and it was fine.

In my opinion - the sooner the better. It typically takes multiple fills to get restriction, so if your doctor thinks you are ready, I would definitely welcome that. My doctor is very aggressive, which I love. I am one of those patients that didn't feel any restriction until I got to 9cc in my 11cc band, and I am going next week for another fill. He gave me 5cc on the first visit, 2cc's on 2nd and 3rd visit. So, at 4 months banded, I have received 9cc's (almost unheard of). Lots of doctors only give 1/2 cc at a time, once every 4-6 weeks. By the way - my doctor doesn't use any numbing agent, which I was freaking out about, however, it didn't hurt at all. I so look forward to my visits. Good luck!

I got my first fill at 2wks.

YOU ALL ARE LUCKY! I have to wait 5 weeks for my first fill

My dr is making me wait 6 weeks!! Not happy.

I have to wait 6 weeks too and I'm starving about 2 hours after I eat.. Ahhhhhhhh

If you are starting with an empty band I don't think 3 weeks is too soon. My doc put in 2.7cc at surgery and my first fill after that was 6-8 weeks. I reached my sweet spot at fill #2 and I do believe that is how I had great success with this thing.
