My first fill was 1.5 cc. My doctor said they do conservative fill amounts. First fill was a breeze. Took a day for things to settle down as far as eating solids. I am a few days past my second fill and this one hasn't been so easy. I may be a little too tight but am hoping things may settle in a few more days. I am seeing my doctor sooner this month so I am hoping to ride it out til I see her. But if it stays like I am now I may need a bit of an un-fill.

How long between fills was it for you?

I did a fill every two weeks for 6 weeks then once month . So 4 fills so far since my surgery 1.5.12. I still do not feel restriction. I have lost 39 lbs. Have now started to gain a couple of lbs. Back. My next fill isn't until 5.30.12. Wish it was sooner.

Because of scheduling conflicts, my first fill was two months after surgery and second fill was one month after that.

My surgery was on 3-16-12 and my first fill was on the 6th of April... It wasn't as bad as I had anticipated... (I have a HUGE fear of needles!!!) didn't feel much restriction, but my second was yesterday and I feel a little more restriction then the first one... My doctor does fills every 3-4 weeks... My next fill is the 16th of May...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
