I know everyone is different, but I was just curious. I am almost 6 weeks out and have little restriction now and am hoping I get one when I go to my appointment Dec. 7th.

Thanks,

Ashley

I got my first fill two weeks after my staples were removed.

I got my first fill 6 weeks post-op.

I was 7 weeks post op when I got mine.

I was 5 weeks post op when I got mine.

Six weeks for me.

I just got mine yesterday 2 1/2 weeks post-op.

My doctor lets his patients tell him when they need fills. Smart since we're the ones who have intimate knowledge of our body and its needs.

I'll be 4 weeks post op on Tuesday and will get a fill on Wednesday.

Thanks, everyone! I just got off the phone with my weightloss coordinator and the earliest she can get me in with my doctor for a fill is Dec. 7th. My surgery was Oct. 23rd so that will put me at 7 weeks and 3 days post op when I get my first fill. I can definitely tell I'll will be using alot of willpower and exercise during the next 1 1/2 weeks. My restriction is definitely not what it was a few weeks ago.

Hang in there. It does get easier.

Thanks, happy!!

I'm in the same boat. I am SO discouraged today. I was supposed to go for my first fill on 12/4 (surgery was 10/21), but can't get an appt with the Dr. until 12/14. I feel like it's such a setback! I've only lost 2 lbs in the past 3 weeks (even though I'm not eating that much). I am thinking of going back to strictly liquids after thanksgiving until the appt.:thumbup:

I got my first fill 2 days shy of 6 weeks post-op. Might have had it a week earlier except it was a holiday on the one day a week they do fills.

I'm four months post op and have never had a fill. Was losing fine until two weeks ago. I'm still losing, but only a wee bit each week. I don't want to ruin the holidays, so I'll probably go in January.

5 weeks post op.

6 weeks post op, 3cc in a 9cc band. Felt restriction 1 day.
