Do U Have To Wait 4 Wks Between Fills

[bbmcg 3]

I was banded july 17th had my first fill the other day they scheduled me for appointment in 4 wks but I can already tell I need more im staying hungry just like before surgery so can they give u a fill before 4 weeks or is that the standered time between fills?

Most doctors say 4 weeks, but there is no set rule. Every surgeon handles it differently so you'll have to ask yours to find out.

My fills are every two weeks, I've had three already since 2nd July which was my op date. But then I may be getting smaller fills every two weeks than if I went once a month. My largest fill was .8ml then .5ml then .7ml and I already had 4.2mls in my band which was put in at day of surgery.

My doctor makes you wait 6 weeks between the first two fills after that you can go as often as 2 weeks.

Every doctor has a different protocol.

I would call the office and ask them if you can move the appt up, they will tell you.

Good luck to you!

One reason for the four week gap between fills is that sometimes it can take a couple of weeks for the effect of the fill to be felt. Having fills too close together could mean that you end up overfilled and need to see your surgeon again for a slight unfill.
