Fill On Same Day Of Lap Band Surgery

[Thundarump 17]

Anybody ever get there band put in with saline alreay? My post op appt was Thursday last week a.d I asked doc when will I get a fill and he said I already had 3 or 4 ccs in already, which one is it 3 or 4?huh seems strange. He said I want see him for 3mths and then he'll decide if I need an adjustment at that time.

_{I know some doctors put in a little bit at the time of surgery. Mine did. I DO think it's weird your doctor doesn't want to see you again for 3 months. I had my follow up appointment a week after surgery and he scheduled my next appointment 6 weeks from surgery. I thought it was the norm to go in every 4 to 6 weeks until you get good restriction. I don't know. I would probably make an appointment to see him sooner if I were you. Or wait and see how you are losing. If you are losing about 2 pounds a week, you are good and probably do not need an adjustment. Good luck!}

My doc put in 4 cc's on the day of surgery, which was August 11, 2011. Last week I just had my first fill since surgery. I have been losing weight extremely well anyway but I was just starting to feel like I could eat a little more than I should. I think it is crazy that he couldnt tell you exactly how much he put in on the day of surgery though. Also I am like the other responder on here. I went back in 2 weeks for a post op visit and go once a month for a check in. I dont see my surgeon every time but I have seen him twice since my surgery.

I had 5 cc put in at the time of surgery, in recovery they took out 2cc. My cousin a week later went to the very same surgeon had 8cc put in and 2 taken out in recovery. It all depends on the patient, and how thick thin your stomach walls are.
