Hi

I was banded July 7th and I too have not had a fill, I am loosing a average of 2lbs every other week. I like you am hungry all the time but Im almost scared to eat to much. Im thinking maybe I'll get a fill the end of Aug? Kinda nervous for that first fill.

Your doing really good, keep it up.

oops I meant I was banded June 7th. haaahaa sorry

I was banded June 8th dat of surgery I was 304 and currently 265 and my surgeon says I don't need a fill. I lost 27 lbs the first month and and 12lbs in 3 weeks that the average loss per month should be 10 lbs. so since I'm doing really well with diet and exercise I don't need one yet... Just evaluate ur eating and are you exercising and getting enough water. It all makes a big difference in your weightloss.

My doctor did my first fill 1 month after surgery and then every 2 weeks until I hit the green zone. But from reading, it does seem each doctor has their own method.

But to me, the band is supposed to keep you from being hungry all the time.

Wow....good job Christine!!! Keep up the good work

I had surgery on June 5, 2012, and didn't get my first fill until July 27. I wanted a fill badly at my first appt., but my surgeon felt like I was doing well on my own. At my second appt, which was a month later, I had gained a pound. I received a 1 1/2 cc fill, which has helped a little.

I was band nov 22 2010. Never had a fill

If your that hungry you should have a fill. That's what determines if you get a fill the hunger. I went months also. I had to ask.

I am 3 weeks post op and ready for a fill! I lost about 6 lbs the first 2 weeks, but week 3 I started eating more and havent lost another pound. my port site is really sore though and I'm afraid it will it to get the fill.
