Next Friday I will be at the 6-week mark and ready for my first fill. I know that things vary from practice to practice, but do I need to call and schedule my first fill or will they call me?

It occurred to me that I might have to call because it seems do many banders who havent had success because they haven't maintained an optimum fill level.....leading me to believe that it must be the responsibility of the patient to initiate fills.

So, did you have to schedule it or did the office call you?

Thanks!

I was scheduled for my first fill before I had my surgery.............6 weeks post op. I would call them

Before surgery, they scheduled my first follow up appt, but not my fill. I will give them a call on Monday.

I had a follow up appointment three weeks after surgery and my surgeon gave me a fill then. Before I leave the centre they always schedule my next appointment.

I have been scheduled for next 6 fills, one every week ,first tomorrow,banded 9/11

Thanks everyone!!! I'm glad I asked!

they made my appointment at my first post-op appointment so be sure u call you dont wnat to miss if if you are feeling any restricktion now.

I think you should call and make sure just in case because my drs office only makes fills on Mondays and they take a while to get me in because they have a lot of patients.
