Hi everyone! I'm 6 weeks post op and had my first fill of 3 cc's today, great experience although I was so nervous! I love this board:-)

I won't get my first fill til about the 11 week mark...VERY NERVOUS. I wish I had a fill a week ago at my last appt. still losing but slower! So glad that your experiennce was positive! Lisa

i'm set to have an appointment next week, and likely my first fill at 6 weeks post op too....but i'm contemplating canceling the appointment.

If i'm losing the weight, should I still get a fill? Hearing positive outcomes of a fill is encouraging, but all the same, shouldn't I wait till i'm stagnant on the scale or until I need a boost to keep losing?

What's everyone else think?

The fill is just a took to aide with not feeling hungry all the time, so if your eating 3 meals a day....and not feeling hungry in between ...don't fix what's not yet broken lol don't cancel your appointment though as you can discuss with you dietician and through effective question can help you decide whether you need a fill or not. Hope this helps .....I'm not due for my first fill till 22 this month, but I can only make Saturday appointments so have to wait till next month. At the moment I don't feel hungry between meal,...it takes me 40-50 mins to eat a very small meal (young child size) so I am happy to wait, but I do talk to my dietician on the phone or by email :-)

I was seriously thinking the exact same thing?! But I won't cancel my appt till the very last minute-just in case. I figure if I get a fill, I will get a very small one, because I feel like I am losing steadily without it, why mess with it?
