When do you typically get your first fill?



Recommended Posts

I'm almost two weeks out (banded 10/30) and just in the last day or so I feel like I've been able to eat more than I have been. Tomorrow is my first post-op appt and I'm wondering if I can go ahead and ask for a fill. I'm not eating anything that's not on the post-op diet list, I can just tell that I've over-eaten once or twice.

My surgeon won't fill before 6 weeks out. He said I needed time to heal from the surgery.

This time is known as Bandster Hell, and not without reason. You have a powerful tool just sitting there and you really want to use it! But you need to be fully healed after the surgery before getting a fill.

My surgeon would have given me a fill if I needed it at the 2 week post op appointment, but I didn't need it. If you tell them how miserably hungry you are and let them know what you are eating, they may do it. Depends on the surgeon.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
