I went to the doctor today and l lost 17 lbs.! I thought I would need a little bit of a fill but the doctor says I'm good! I am happy but afraid. I don't want to get hungry. He did tell me that if I start to feel hungry before 4-5 hours before my next appointment to call and they will fit me in for a fill. I'm two months out from being banded. This is the best thing ever!

I'm happy for you and your success. Did they base the no fill on the weight loss or hours of not being hungry? I am going in for my third fill tomorrow and they don't ask me about how often I get hungry, so I'm not sure how they judge it, but maybe they wait for a couple of fills before they start asking this.

They base the decision mostly on how ling it takes you to get hungry but the amount of weight loss plays a bit of a role too

i was wondering also what they base it on...i am going for my first fill on nov1,and so far,i havent really been that hungry at all,so im worried that he wont give me a fill!!
