first fill postop



Recommended Posts

I made my appt for my first fill and it lands only 4 weeks out after my surgery. Is that ok or too early? The next appt time I could get is 2 months postop and I dont know which is better. Any advice?

Some doctors begin fills at 4 weeks and some at 6 or longer, I guess it depends on who you see.

Not everyone has had fills (I haven't) and are losing weight just fine. There are a lot of variables.

I'd guess that you're healed well enough for a fill. Try it and see if there are any problems, if so

you can always have some taken out.

I had my first fill exactly 4 weeks after surgery, 4cc's. Then 2 more after that, 4 weeks apart for a total of 3.

Once I hit that green zone, I see him 8 week intervals.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
