Since I live 3 hrs from my clinic, I only went in for fills (4 of them the first year). The first 3 were 6 weeks apart in the first few months, the 4th was close to a year out. I think I've been there more in the past year (I'm 3 1/2 yrs post op) than in all 3 yrs put together (working ona minor slip).

Hope that helps!

For the first four months I went in every two weeks after that every month religiously.

First visit one week after surgery, then It was every 4 weeks for the first 5 months, basically the adjustment phase with a series of fills every 4 weeks.....until I was properly adjusted and comfortably in the Green Zone and did not need anymore fills...it then became every 3 months....no problems,..then 6 months, last visit it became 1 year..... (surgery and weight loss now completed)

I can call anytime if I have any problems or questions obviously, but other than that it is now back to life as usual....

Every month and continue to go per doctors orders. I'm grateful because that is what keeps me on track. And I'm two years three months out.
