Question for those who have had more than one fill...

Is this because you haven't reached your sweet spot or is it because that sweet spot changes on a monthly basis?

I'm pretty sure I'm at my sweet spot. I get stuck if I don't chew well or take too big of bites, but otherwise I'm ok. At first last week I felt full after my meal (right after my unfill), but now I don't; however, I am limiting myself right now to 1 cup of food at a meal and am content and not hungry for about 4 hours afterwards so I'm guessing that's the sweet spot.

I was kind of assuming that once I get to that point, I won't need further fills for months.

.

I do what greytz does too regardless of whether I think I need a fill or not and seems like the trend in December was for many to get unfills (me included so I was there every two weeks and will be Jan 5 again). I set up appts two months in advance monthly. The practice I got to likes you to go monthly and I think that is also important for success (at least my referring doctor had thought so).

If you asked me last week I would have said I doubt I needed any fill on my Jan 5 appt. Now I am not sure maybe .2.... I will let her decide last time I pushed her over the fence to a higher fill and ended up having to go back for an unfill. But either way I will go and check in... I feel it would keep me on track.

I say definitely make the appointment for 2 weeks out! Especially since you are just starting out with your fills. I am going in for my third this week. My last fill was Dec. 21st & I thought I may have hit my sweet spot until a few days ago. Before that I had been pondering canceling my appt., thank goodness I didn't!

Like the others said, you can always cancel!
