Post op: time between fills

[Bandakat412 26]

Don't tell at me! I know tight is bad...

I'm 8 days post op and I'm dying to feel the band quietly at work. How long did your doctor make you wait between fills at the beginning? I've heard quite a range so I'm just trying to see the range. Thanks!

I had my first fill at exactly 4 weeks.

First fill at four weeks then every two weeks after that until I hit the green zone.

My 1st fill was at 6 weeks, and then approximately 30 days between fills until I and surgeon felt I was at "green zone".

Four weeks then monthly until I get in the green zone.

[Bandakat412 26]

Yuck! A month between?? Two weeks I get because of the swelling.

Thanks!

4 Weeks after surgery then 4-6 weeks until I reach the green zone.

I was 3 weeks post op for my first fill. Then every 4 weeks. I have had 3 fills already

It will be 3 weeks and then every 4 weeks till I hit the green zone.

Wow. Every 4 weeks sounds common. That's a long time. :/

My dr requires a 6 wk waiting period between fills. Once, last year, the nurse got me in at 3 wks cuz I was going on vacation. And it was like my 8th fill and over 2 yrs in.

Mine was 6 weeks for the first fill and now it's every 4 until I hit the green zone. Seems pretty standard for most surgeons.

Mine too--first fill after 6 weeks and then every 4 weeks. I just had my third fill today!
