My first one was today and my surgery was 5 weeks ago yesterday May 20th. But I'm sure it depends on the doctor.

Mine was about 3 weeks after surgery

I was banded on May 20, and got my first fill on June 23. I have a realize band, and he put 5.5 cc in the 10 cc band. I thought he'd put maybe 1.5 or 2. I don't feel like I have any restriction, which concerns me since I was over half filled the first time

I was banded the same day. I had my post op today and he told me to come back in 2 weeks. I have an appointment on 7/9. So I guess that is 5 weeks.

I have to wait 6 weeks to get my first fill!! I'm 3 weeks post op and can eat reguarly and dont' even feel the band anymore. It's very frustrating to wait that long. I'm in bandster hell.

I was banded on May 21st and I was able to get a fill on June 12th.So that was 3 weeks after. Not sure if that is my doctor's norm. She may have taken pity on me because I told my appetite had come back and with a vengeance!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
