Should I or shouldn't I?



Recommended Posts

I am a self pay and my first three fills are free as long as I get them within 90 days from my banded date. I had my second fill yesterday. We tried 1 cc but it was too much (water didn't go down) so she backed a little out so I ended up with .8cc's. She made my next fill appt for 11/18 (because that will be day 90), they usually do not do another fill after just two weeks but they will bend the rules for self pay's. She told me that if I don't lose weight over the next two weeks to keep my appt but if I am losing to cancel it. My fills will be $340 each :blink: , yeah....alot of money, so I am debating as to weather I want to cancel my appt even if I'm losing. What is your opinion on this? (Yes, I am aware that you are not doctors, just interested to hear what you would do if you were me). Thanks!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
