[velvetbuckle 3]

Holla bandsters! I was banded June 26 and my first fill is 9 days later, going thru the postings, I see nobody that has been filled that soon! Anyone? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Really? Hmmm...I was banded on 6/12/12, and scheduled for fill on 7/30, but Dr. says that is tentative based on my performance and weightloss before then. I'm curious about your situation.

My first fill once I have the surgery next week will be 4 weeks post op.

I got my first fill at 4 weeks. Every surgeon seems to have their own routine. If you're doubting the timing, ask your doctor. I'm sure he has logic behind it. Maybe he just does a small fill? My first fill was 3 cc's. I go in every four weeks for another fill until I hit the ellusive Green Zone. My surgeon prefers to fill the first few months regardless of progress - I expressed at my first fill that I was scared he may not do it because I was steadily losing weight, but the loss was all diet-controlled; I still felt hungry between meals but didn't indulge.

I have a call in to the nurse. I have lost around 25 pounds since May, banded on June 26. I only had liquid diet for one week but I am walking like crazy! Thanks everyone!

I had a one week post op check up and then wasn't scheduled for my first fill until 6 weeks post op. In fact my surgeon wouldn't even consider a dill until I was past that 6 week mark. When I was banded he put in 3cc of Fluid in my band.

Thanks everyone for the info, the nurse is unsure, well she's unsure of just about everything, lol not judging Nurses work hard for sure. Maybe when they called to schedule my 1st fill, they really meant to say post-op visit? We are only human, for now anyway. I will find out Thursday at 1:30pm (believe that) !

Had surgery 5/15/12 and just got my first fill 6/27/12 which is about 6 weeks post op and my next is 8/8/12. Good luck!

Thanks everyone, no fill, not even close lol, not a whole lot of anything except ripping my surgi-strips off! Ouch. I won't have a fill for 5-6 weeks, silly rabbit.

I was banded June 7th and was told I had to wait 4-6 weeks, my first fill is this coming Monday July 9th-I am nervous but excited all at the same time! I am kind of shocked that yours is so soon...goodluck!!!
