My Dr. would make me wait atleast 2 weeks between fills. My fills semed to kick in after a week. I never felt instant restriction

Two weeks for me as well if feeling no restriction. He prefers 4 weeks if it isn't "enough" restriction so that the fill doesn't "kick-in" and leave you too tight.

My Dr. schedules fill for 6 weeks. He does say that if no weight loss is occuring and/or no restriction after a couple of weeks, then call for a 4 week appointment. The problem is that you have to beg and plead with the nurse and end up not being able to get in before the originally scheduled 6 week appt. This is a veerrrry slow process for me and I am finding it frusterating with VG band and still no restriction 3 months and, as of yesterday, 2 fills later.

4 weeks for me, too...and it's a good thing,too, because I thought I needed a little more fill but right at that 4 week time frame I got even tighter. I SO don't need that "little bit more" now!
