So I was got my first fill last week, whoo hoo...5.0 in my band. He told me to come back in 2 weeks for my second. So when I went to schedule, the only appointment was 8 days from my first. I asked if she was sure that was ok, and she said yes.

Anyone else have fills that close together? I have NO restriction, so I'm thinking it should be fine! :thumbup: I told them to be aggressive...I guess I'm getting my wish!

I had my second fill 9 days after 1st. No problem. I might get my 3rd fill sooner rather than later. You will be fine.

Yes...I also had my fills close together. I am acutally glad the Dr. was willing to work with me until I felt restriction.

Im allowed to get fills whenever I need them. I had my 2nd fill just under 2 weeks apart from each other.

one of the reasons fills are so far apart time wise is togive your stomach a chance to get used to the restriction. Getting fills too fast can be BAD BAD BAD.

I had erosion 4 months after surgery and one of the reasons we believe is because of my fills which I got too fast. In the 4 months since surgery I went from 0cc in my 10cc band to 8cc in my band by the time the erosion was found. If it wasnt for my doc doing a random endoscope check we would not have found it so soon.

Be careful fast fills can be good in the short run giving you restriction but a couple of months from now you might find that you have erosion or problems with your stomach.
