I have my 2 month post-op appointment on Thurs. I am not sure if i should get a fill or not (this is so confusing). My first fill went great which i recieved on June 15. I had great restricition i would fell full quick but i never got anything stuck or PB or slimed. But over the last week and a half i have kinda lost a little of the restricition i feel like i can eat more. I have lost 10lbs since my last appointment which is great. I kinda fell like i need a fill but i am so scared that i would get to tight. I don't want to PB or get stuff stuck right now i can eat what i want just in smaller potions but i am geting hungrey a lot quicker. Oh the questions that plague the lapbanders mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found that I had great restriction after surgery (my tummy was still swolen) The sign that you need another fill is if you are hungry between meals. Go to your doc and chat with them...let them decide. You might only get a small fill each time you go in.

If you're doing well, losing weight, and not hungry or snacking between meals - you probably don't need a fill.

You can always go back and get a fill if you change your mind in a week.

My bariatric coordinator always recommends a fill after 10lbs. & if you are hungrey after 4 hours & eating 1 cup of food. A small fill should help.

I would say go ahead and get the fill. Clue your doc in on what's going on, though, so he or she can judge how much fill you need without making you too tight.

Good luck, congratulations on the excellent weight loss :thumbdown:

Thanks everyone for you replys i think i am going to get the fill last night i kept looking for food so i know i need a fill. Thanks so much
