hokiemama 13 Posted November 30, 2010 I was banded on November 15th and am scheduled for my first band fill on December 9th. I was thinking I would not have my first fill until later, maybe January. I am not getting hungry between meals yet. I'm wondering if I should cancel the fill and wait a little longer. I don't want to wait "too long" and take the chance of gaining weight. When are you having your first fill? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gotmyeyeontheprize 2 Posted November 30, 2010 I had surgery Nov. 22nd and I go back to the doctor today for my post-op appt. I am assuming he will set up my fill appointment. The day of surgery, he said my first fill would be around New Years. I think 6 weeks out is the norm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cangel76 1 Posted November 30, 2010 I had surgery November 2, 2010 I was supposed to go for a refill on December 2, 2010 but due to a post op infection I most likely will have to wait a few more weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grigg4 0 Posted November 30, 2010 I think it could depend on if your surgeon put any saline in at surgery - mine did and I didn't even know it. He put in almost 4cc and 9 weeks later added 1.5 to it. I go back in this Friday and hope for a little tweak!! I also need to remember to ask how big my band it - as if that means anything, really?!?!

Cali Sal 0 Posted November 30, 2010 I had my surgery on Oct 20th and I was supposed to get my first fill today....but my insurance company didn't approve the fill in time and now it'll be postponed for 2 weeks or so. Kind of sucks, I was hoping to get the ball rolling on fills to reach that sweet spot. On a bright note, my weight loss has been pretty consistent ever since my first appointment with my Dr. and I'm on pace to reach my End of Year goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
