How soon is too soon for another fill



Recommended Posts

Ok long story short. Had my surgery 10/16- went in for first fill dec 2nd. Flipped surgery to correct 12/9. My doc put in 2 ccs on 12/9.

I don't notice much of a difference. I go back first week of January for my port follow up. Is that too soon to ask for another fill? I want to start slow I was thinking maybe asking for 1 cc, just wanted some input

Every doc is different. I was banded the day before you and have already had 2 fills. I go for my third on Jan 6th. My doc sees me every 4 weeks. I had 3 cc's the first fill and a little over 2 cc's the second - in a 10 cc band. I think I need just a little more to be where I need to be. Good luck!

it should all depend on you. are you satisfied with less than a cup of food and stay satisfied for at least 3-5 hours? if you can eat, eat, and eat some more. or need to eat an hour after you have had a meal i would say you need one. hopefully your doctor will know this. some don't.

I'm taking the wait and see approach. I feel I'm still hungry after 1 cup but once I eat I can go hours in between meals. Maybe it's working. I'd guess I'd rather be less filled than too tight. ;)

Hi there, so glad your port issue is all straightened out! On the hunger, I have the other thing going -- I am satisfied on a very small amount of food but hungry again too soon. Today I go for a third fill. It's freezing rain and I'm hoping I can get there alright as my next appointment is not for a couple of weeks and I feel that appetite is turning right up. I was banded 11/5. This is the process -- the figuring it out time. I have really liked not being hungry so I know what it is to have that feeling. I imagine the green zone is similar or better. Best wishes for a nice holiday week!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
