Is anyone going from Toronto or nearby areas down to TLBC for their

first fill and seminar? Going at 1:00. See you there ??

Hey Rose, I believe that's the day and time too for my first fill. Will keep an eye out for you!

When were you two banded? Seems like a long time to have to wait for a fill, (unless you don't need one at all). Just wondering.

I was banded Aug. 17th. I thought it was a bit long too, but she said she was sure of the date for first fill...meanwhile I am dying to chew..I dont know how much longer of this Soup I can take..... I would like to eat, just real little and more variety, like on the solids diet....

Rose P.S. Will look out for you Lizster!

Interesting - each clinic seems to be a bit different - TWLS says at about 4 weeks, if able to eat everything and not feeling full. As there is only the "prime" in the band, there is really very little restriction - this doesn't mean that everyone will be ready for a fill at that point, but I am certainly going to be examining where I am at with getting this tool to work properly.

Hi Cindy, I was also banded on August 17th. I gather they have a group of people for their first fill so maybe depending on when you were banded and when they have these group fill seminars (not sure I want an audience!) , it may take longer to get the fill. Also the Dr. told me that they don't fill prior to 6 weeks as the manufacturer of the band recommends not to. It could be some legal protection for them if they wait the recommended time. Who knows... I, like Rose am looking forward to some solid food and I'm afraid that when I can do that (at 4 weeks), I will likely overeat. : (
