Hey everyone. First of all I want to introduce myself because this is my first post, though I've been lurking for a couple months. My name is Diana and I was banded Dec 17 2010. It's been such a crazy fast process and the aftercare is no different. I went to the seminar Nov 16th and literally a month and one day later I was banded. I'm covered for post op care for the next three months. However, since my insurance switched in 2011 and I don't know if the new insurance will cover fills and aftercare, my surgeon's office has been great about moving things along quickly so I can get the most out of these 3 months. I had my first fill yesterday, at 3 weeks post op. The nurse practitioner (who was great and quick with the fill! No pain or trouble finding the port thankfully) told me I should make the most of this 3 months period and I can come back as frequently as every week for fills if I'm still hungry. I totally trust his opinion, I know he's been doing this a long time, but I was just wondering if anyone else has had fills so frequently. Is there any reason not to go so frequently? Thanks! Diana

Can someone please send me the letter too? I'm new here but I have my appointment (final pre op. appt) with my PCP on the 30th. Thanks! dianamtedesco@aol.com
