Time Between Fills



Recommended Posts

What is the aver age time between fills? Banded on 2/15 with 2.0 cc's. I was told I would have my first fill 6 weeks later. That first fill was 2.5 cc's. I don't feel any restriction anymore. Is this normal? doc told me my second fill would be in 90 days! What is your experience?

I was banded on March 9th and got my first fill 2 wks later. My next appt is April 9th (and hoping for another fill).. Once the swelling went down from the surgery, I was starving and felt zero restriction. According to my Dr, what they leave in the band isn't going to satisfy most people.

90 days seems really long! My first few fills were only 2 weeks apart for the first couple of months.

According to my dr, you can have a fill every 2 to 3 weeks - minimum. Sometimes with scheduling, you may have to wait 4-6 weeks but never 90 days :( ask you dr about coming in sooner between fills.

I had my first fill last Thursday and I'm eating everything. Granted I will be having a visit from aunt flo soon but I hear that is supposed to make things tighter and I didn't want to wait a whole month so I called today and I will get my next one in a week do that will be two weeks apart. I hope it's ok.

My first fill was just over 4 weeks. Second one is scheduled for 4 weeks later.
