timeline for fills?

I am just wondering what other people have encountered with their surgeons timelines for filling? My surgeon is an aggressive filler, starting at 2 weeks post-op. Since insurance tends to only pay for the first 3 fills, he likes to start sooner and his goal is to get the first 30lbs off with those first 3 fills. I'd like to hear how other folks have dealt with their fills. My first one is next Thursday and I'm 8 days post-op today-down 11 pounds.

My journey begins

I'd like to introduce myself to this LAP-BAND®® world. I work as a nurse in the O.R. at a hospital that is ranked as a Bariatric Center for Excellence. I've been trying to have this surgery for about 2 years. June 2009 I was diagnosed with diabetes and was at my top weight of 235. About 4 months later my husband suddenly passed away, and my life changed forever. I was finally able to have my surgery 7 days ago. I weighed 205 on the morning of my surgery, bounced up to 209 the next day, but was down to 195 this morning. I can't imagine feeling any better than I do. I had extreme shoulder pain after my surgery and a bout of SubQ emphysema or "rice krispies" in my neck and shoulders which finally resolved. I've had a few hunger pains, but 4oz. of skim milk usually does the trick. My first fill will be next Thursday. Can't hardly wait!
