I actually went for my 4 week checkup yesterday. I was expecting a fill because 2 days after surgery I had to have 1 1/2 cc's removed (my Dr puts in 4cc's at surgery). I couldn't keep liquids so to prevent dehydration he removed it.

When I went in I met with the NUT and she noted what a normal 2 day diet was for me and said I was eating the correct amount and wanted me to advance to regular food and quit the soft and liquid foods (sliders). Asked if I was hungry and I said not really.

Next I met with the PSY and he said I was right on schedule with weight loss. They like anywhere from 4-8 lbs a month. I had lost 6 lbs since surgery. Told me I had done super and also asked if I was hungry.

Then the nurse came in and said she didn't think the Dr would give me a fill because I was still a little swollen and the information I had given them indicated the band was working just the way it was supposed to. She said I was to come back in a month and would probably need a fill then or earlier if I became hungry between meals, just call and they would work me in to get a fill.

I feel so much better because I was worried about getting a fill when I seem to have some restriction with just this small amount.

Guess that is why they make the BIG money. They really know what they are doing......
