When do you normaly get your first band fill??

I go back to the doctor sept.23, that will be about 6 weeks after my surgery. I hope I get my first fill because I' am so hungry and have cheated alittle with no ill effects. I'm just afraid I might stretch the little pouch that the band has made.

Any thoughts or info???

I really think it depends on your doctor. Mine was 1 month after surgery and my 2nd was 1 month after that. My dr said to call when I feel I need another one.

I am totally feeling your pain. I just had my first fill--five weeks post-op--and I still don't seem to have any restriction. I am straving to death! I've lost 16 pounds, but no thanks to the band. I am trying to eat like I will have to when I get restriction, but I am worried that I may go on a binge soon if I don't start feeling full! I am doing everything I am supposed to, but I don't know how long I can keep it up. I am calling the dr. tomorrow because I am not schedule for another fill for six more weeks. I'm starting to fill like my stomach has some kind of defect that doesn't ever get the sensation of feeling full and that is why I am fat to begin with!

I hope your fill works for you!

Anwa, I had the same question awhile ago...I can't really describe how (I had to follow directions), but I can tell you where to find the directions! Go to the search box and type in "How do I insert a ticker?" and the how-to thread will come up (originally posted by haffdime). Good luck!:crying:

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
