:confused:Is it true that u shouldnt get a fill during or a couple days before ur cycle?? Im just curious because i read on a site that u shouldnt get a fill while u have ur "friend" because u retain water and its harder to get a fill?? im due for my next week and am also getting a fill oct 24th so i was wondering should i cancel my appointment and reschedule til aunt flow leaves?? any suggestions:confused:

I have never heard of that before.

I had my second fill during TOM and I had absolutely no problem.

I can't eat hardly anything before and during my cycle. I have learned the hard way. So I have made a personal decision NOT to have my fills during this time. I have some friends on another thread who also have trouble eating during "TOM". Do you have trouble while TOM is visiting? If you do, don't get your fill at that time.

I haven't had my TOM since banding. I am due next week, just like you. I am also due for my fill next week, just like you. I can only hope that neither of us have trouble! I guess we both had better take it slow to avoid sliming or PBing.

I really don't think it will matter much with the first fill. They put very little in the first time. After that, it might be a problem.

Thanks for saying that. I was starting to wonder if I should be scared.:laugh:

Yea i wondered the same thing cause on another thread they said to have a sucessfull fill dont get it done durin the TOM i got scared i thought if i got it done something would go wrong..i dont wanna ask my doctor (he's a guy) i dont think he will understand..thanx for all ur replies

slim, you won't notice much of a difference with the first fill. (I know because we have the same doctor and he doesn't put much in the first time). I have had 3 fills and they have all been around my TOM and I have had no problems. I guess it is different for everyone.

I do not think it matters , I had my fill this Sunday and it was that TOM , but the good news is that since i was banded a month ago I had two cycles ... which I never had before before starting to lose weight which shows that my body is starting to get normalized .... :-) :laugh:
