My surgery was June 3 and my doctor has scheduled my first fill for tomorrow. I wasn't expecting a fill until 6 weeks post-op. At my first post-op visit, told her I was experiencing hunger, but I was still on full liquids at that point.

Anyone else have a fill this early? Was it beneficial or did you think it was too soon?

There are many different modes to getting fills and it mostly goes by the surgeon's office. If you feel that you do not need the fill then hold off until you feel that you are hungry between meals and can't make it 3-4 hours between.

If you are good, feeling "hunger" is important, as well as understanding the type of hunger you are experiencing. If it's head hunger or actual hunger and need to fuel the body. Talk to your doc when you see them next and come to a determination together.

I had mine at 5 weeks and was very happy about it. I think you'll be fine if youre already experiencing hunger.

Do you think you're ready? What kind of foods are you on?

My first fill was at exactly four weeks. Up until three and a half weeks I thought I might not need it, but that was when the hunger returned. Good timing for me! Good luck with all -- you're doing great!

Got mine at 4 weeks.

In the surgeons office, everything for the fill on the counter. I'm excited about this!

I've been on puréed foods for a week, so not looking forward to Clear Liquids again, but it's temporary.

Thank you all for replying...I feel better about this!

2cc fill...so far, so good! Thanks again everyone!

Surgery was June 12, first follow up appt was June 22. My surgeon told me he wanted to see me again in 3 more weeks, and if all was well then, he would schedule my first fill 2 weeks after that. Ugh. Seems like a long time to wait. I haven't lost any weight since week 1 post-op. I'm following the diet I was given, and walking between 2-5 miles per day. I'm frustrated.

My first fill is scheduled for July 28th at 3 cc's... Can't wait!!!

Oh, and I'm down a total of 26.2 lbs... YAY!!!
