1st fill question

[rhonda435 2]

I know all doctors are diffrent. He asked if i was going out of town for xmas. When i said yeah he said i needed to geta fill at least 5 days before i leave in case i need an unfill. He didnt want me sick while i was out of town. So i guess he is letting me get a fill a few days before my actual 1 month. I don't have any pain or soreness in my belly so thats a plus also. I have noticed the past few days that i am hungry even after eating so i hope this will help lots only 10 more days to go!

I also had my surgery on the 19th of Nov, but my dr will not let me get my first fill till the 29th of Dec

Every doctor and every person is so different. I had my first fill just 3 1/2 weeks post op and my doctor put in 4 ccs. I felt absolutely nothing. I went back last Thursday (2 weeks later) and he put in another 3 ccs for a total of 7ccs. I felt the difference before I even left the office. I had a hard time that day even getting in my Clear liquids, but woke up the next morning and had thin oatmeal, yogurt for lunch, then a regular dinner. I feel the full "restriction" much quicker but have had no problems. Most people that I have heard from tell me that having 7 ccs, 5 weeks post op is pretty aggressive, but it feels "right" to me. I think it is important to listen to your body and hopefully you can trust you doctor to make judgements that are in your best interest.
