A common variable with band surgeons is their fill schedule/philosophy.

***How long after surgery will your first fill be?

***What is the schedule for subsequent fills?

***What is the surgeon's test to determine whether or not a fill is needed? Some (fortunately, mine) base their decision primarily on patient hunger. Some, however, won't give you a fill if you're losing sufficient weight, regardless of how hungry you are (IE: require, IMO, unnatural amounts of will power, or cause you to fail and gain weight in order to get a fill)

I'm sure others will give you some good questions too!

Good luck!
