Is it common to get a fill once a week? My first fill at 6 weeks was 2cc then the next week 1. He told me to call to see if I need another one next week. I have no restriction so I think I will call. I wonder if they charge every time for a fill?

your restriction sensation can change with your weight loss or with where you are in your menstral cycle. Every surgon does fills differently. The main goal is to stay in the green zone. so you dropp weight at a consistent even pace.

Be ware of the yellow zone: you are eating way more and hungry more often that means you need more Fluid added.

The Red zone: you are having trouble with good nutrtious foods and are reaching for soft slider items you need to see your doctor for evaluation.

The weight loss does slow down as more of your weight dropps off Keep working out paying attention to your nutrtion and stay hydrated.

Bcbs would charge you a copay

Most fills are billed and you will have copay. Once a week seems a bit fast to me. The goal is to lose slowly over time, not in a short time. Fast weight loss places too much stress on the system. I have a good friend who has lost 80 pounds with NO FILLS in 6 months, just by following the Lap Band eating rules and portions.

My insurance pays nothing dr charges my 100 a fill. I also have bcbs

I had free fills the 1st 6 months as part of my surgery. But, my surgeon only had me coem in 1x a month. Karen

How long did it take to fill restriction

I can't remember, but I had restriction at 5.cc. That is my max, and more fill, and I am too tight. I am 3 years out, so I have memory loss. Sorry, CRS* comes with age, too. Karen

*(can't remember stuff)

I am at three. Hoping to go in next week for another one if he lets me
