I was banded May 30th. I had complications so I didn't get my first fill until the end of July. They put in 5cc's. At first I didn't feel restriction, but now I can go long periods without even thinking about food. Way longer than the recommended 3-4 hrs. I've been moving for the past week and yesterday I realized that I hadn't eaten all day at about 8 pm. That is not the norm by any means I know I must eat. I'm supposed to get a fill next Tuesday, but I'm thinking I might not need it. Not sure what to do....

My personal opinion? If it were me, I wouldn't get another fill. It sounds like you're well within the Green Zone. I'd be afraid of any more fills pushing you past your sweet spot and into too tight territory.

If you don't feel like you need a fill then tell the Dr. that you are good and you don't need a fill. They should be asking you how long you go between meals and what your eating at the visit to indicate if you need a fill or not.

If your happy and your losing weight steadily then your good, but please make sure you are getting in the nutrition that you need. That might raise a flag with the Dr. and they might want to take some Fluid out. So try to eat right, even if you have to put a reminder alert to let you know you need to grab some nutrition.

Pass and reschedule when you change your mind

That is exactly what I'm afraid of too being too tight. Thanks

It's still worth meeting with your doctor, providing an update and talking through things with you, at least for the first year. Just because you have an appointment doesn't mean you need to get a fill.

Congrats on your success!
