Hey guys! I am 2.5 weeks post-op and in the mushy stage. I am completely healed and have full appetite back and feel no restriction (obviously), but my surgeon said my first fill will be 6 weeks post-op so another 4 more weeks. I dont know if I can go that long. I mean I feel so normal like nothning took place. I mean I get full fast and it lasts long, but I can eat basically anything and feel fine.

When did you get your first fill??

I got mine today. I'm 3 weeks post-op. I wasn't expecting a fill, so it was a nice surprise for me. But I don't go back to see him for another 6 weeks.

I don't get my first fill until August 10. I was banded on 6-24. I am only a week and a day out and am already starving! Oh boy...I hope I can make it!

Mine was supposed to be at five weeks, but since the doctor is going to be out, it will be at 4 weeks. I start soft foods this weekend. I haven't had any problems and since I've been doing nothing but drinking stuff, I don't get full. I do burp a lot, but that's not new.

Hi folks

I am almost 4 weeks out, and until last week, I was getting full very quick and was on musy food still etc I was getting hungrier and hungrier, and suffered a night with PB's but everything has been fine.

I'm now on solids, and I'm ravenous!!! I could eat a horse!!! I realise this is prob cos my swelling has gone down...

I am DESPERATE to be filled, but I don't get filled til 21st July.... is this normal then???

My doctor won't do a fill until 6-8 weeks post op.

I was banded on 06-19-09 and I get my first fill on 07-07-09. Can't wait. I need the restricition asap!

This is the worst part you can do it Just Keep the will power strong that is the whole thing at the early point

Wow! You guys get fills quickly . . .

I was banded on 5/28 and won't get my first until 7/15!

Wow! Thanks for all the advise. Looks like its normal then for my doc to wait 6 weeks. I just want the restriction! Thanks for putting me at ease!
