How Soon After Surgery Can I Get A Fill.



Recommended Posts

OK I am just newly banded. How long after surgery can I get my first fill? I am so hungry! The shakes and grits are not cutting it!

I had my first fill about 1 month after my surgery. My doctor wanted me to get used to the lapband way of eating and to heal.

Waited 6 weeks and every 6 weeks to get an adjustment! Once u start moving into the other food stages your hunger will start to lessen. This period is important ur in the healing process and your stomach is getting use to having a band around it. Eating foods u arent suppose to eat can cause harm.
