Worried about first fill

My fist fill is scheduled for tomorrow. And I'm worried that I'm not healed enough. My stomach is still swollen and my incisions are not completely healed. I'm hungry but not starving and I still get full with about 1/2 C of food. I know some surgeons wait 6 weeks but mine fills at 3 weeks. I guess I'm worried that he will go ahead and fill and I'll struggle.

Talk to your dr about how you are feeling, you don't have to get a fill if you are not comfortable with the timing of it. 3 weeks out you are still not eating a full diet so it is hard to gauge your hunger and fullness. Good luck.

Talk to the doctor about what you are eating. Fills don't have to happen everytime you go in.

Its too soon and you're still healing. Mine waited until 6 weeks after my surgery. He wanted to make sure I was fully healed and eating good foods. You might get only 1cc so it won't be much. My doctor during surgery, prefilled 1.5cc then I found out after the fact. This way he knows the band is okay and working.

Talk with the doctor.

That's right, talk to to dr! He/she is the expert on the medical side but you are the expert about your body and how you are feeling. View this as a partnership and work together.
