I'm new at this fill stuff so I need some help deciding about when to get my 2nd fill.

I can get my next fill as early as May 25th. But I have a couple of long weekend vacations coming up back to back shortly after that and don't want to be having trouble.

I only had my 1st fill a week ago. Right now I am averaging 1000-1200 cals/day, having no problems at all. I've lost 1# this week, but also started working with a trainer so the scale is probably not an accurate indicator.

I do want to be pretty aggressive during these first 6 months but don't want to have problems during my vacations either....especially because they're group vacations with friends, none of which know I am banded.

any advice?

I'd say skip the fills until after your vacations, not only because the people you will be with don't know you're banded, but also because you don't want to be out of town (away from your doctor) for 2 weeks after a fill. It really can take that long for issues to show up.

Yeah, that's the way I was leaning....better to be safe than sorry. Thanks Carlene!
