Hello, I was banded November 7th. I have had one fill and my next one is Feb. 1st. Which seems like a long time to get a fill.

I understand my surgeon is booked up, I am going to call to see if he has any last minute cancellations.

Its going okay. I went from 215 to 207-208, I have lost inches more then pounds I think.

I have been working out atleast 3x a week and hope to bump it up to 4.

I am letting the slender me out,

Hiya Rose - welcome! :eek:

I agree that it does seem like a long time between fills. My doc is planning on about 4 weeks in between each fill (he anticipates 3-4 fills before finding the "sweet spot"). My first fill was 4 weeks after surgery, and my 2nd fill is scheduled for 4 weeks after that.

Are you hungry? Do you have much restriction? If you don't feel much restriction & are hungry, I would call your doc and see if you can get in sooner. Perhaps there is another doc in the practice that can do the fill? Maybe they have a nurse that can do it?

If you're not hungry, then don't worry about it. Some docs fill the band with a few CC's during surgery. You may have more restriction than those of us who had no CC's during surgery!

Hang in there, and keep checking back. We're all here to support eachother!
