Confusion In First Fill Time

Hey all- my surgeon said people get filled after 6-8 weeks but when I called the fill center to schedule a fill, they said they do it after two months. That seems like a long time. :(

    I have fills (if I need them) every 4 weeks, but every surgeon is different. It sounds like yours works on the side of caution, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

  • Eight weeks is two months. Every surgeon is different. I think my first fill was at six weeks

I know eight weeks is two months, but one person said i could have it done at six weeks and one said eight weeks. I would prefee to go at six weeks but the fill center will not do it until eight weeks. I was just trying to find out if that was common. Thank you!

Well I'm 8 weeks post op and just going for my first fill next week! I'm guessing each dr is different!

My surgery was on 6/5 and my 1st fill was 5weeks later and was given5cc in a 10cc band my doctor had me drink a cup of water and wait a few minutes later I started sliming and he took 1cc out and then everything felt all right a little tightness though. I started losing weight slowly for the next month about 1lb a week and my next fill he added 1cc to make a total of 5cc's I lost about 10 lbs in 11 days it was crazy probably too much but I feel fine but have lot of restriction. The truth for the first time I have to be very careful what I eat and drink.

I had my first fill 3 weeks after surgery

My first fill is scheduled for 10th Oct which will be six weeks after surgery, one of the girls who was same day as me is 4 weeks after and another 5 weeks after, we all had the same surgeon on the same day!!
