How long after surgery do u get ur first fill? I have a follow up with the surgeon Thursday which would be 2 weeks after surgery. Just wondered if i would get one or is she just checking my incisions and such.

BillieG,

Generally, surgeon's make you wait one month post op before giving you your first fill. I got my first fill one month after surgery and my surgeon will only do fills once a month. They believe it takes the stomach some time to heal.

It's important to remember not all surgeons are the same. Have you have your follow-up visit with him yet?

Nope the follow up is thursday, and my next appt is feb 17 so thats probably when ill get one then.

Probably just a check up for your incisions. I was supposed to get my first fill at four weeks, which was last week, but my doc was out of town. So Tuesday is the day. Can't wait!

My surgeon did a post op visit at 2 weeks. He checked my incisions and told me I would get a fill at my next appt. That will be 6 weeks post op.

3 weeks after surgery I got my first fill. They only added 1 cc. Next fill is a week from tomorrow.
