titansjim 22 Posted December 26, 2012 I'm almost 2 months post op. I've had one fill and definetly need another BUT my work is sending me out of town (1500 miles ) for 2 months and I have to leave on the 31st. I don't think it's gonna be possible to get a fill before I go. Any suggestions or advise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted December 27, 2012 Looks like you're on your own bro? You might check with your doc and see if he/she has any connections where you are going? Or, you may have to schedule a long weekend back home to get that fill? tmf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rojasanoll 920 Posted December 27, 2012 Tell the doctor you will be out of town and for how long. He is the only person to determine what he can do. If he gives you a fill, it will be a small amount of saline. He surely wouldn't give you a big fill and take a chance being so far away. Most ER's in hospital are not equip to remove some of the fill. Check with your doctor ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ladybandito 516 Posted December 31, 2012 I would say to wait until you return and until then just be careful on what you eat. You will have the band for a long, long time so there is really no rush to fill. You can begin in earnest when you get back. Your doc knows best tho, maybe a tiny fill is in order?

titansjim 22 Posted January 3, 2013 Good news. I didn't get a fill before coming to North Dakota but they have a good variety of food at the man camp I'm in like baked chicken & salad bar plus they even have a gym here so I'll have no excuses. I'm staying on my "diet" & exercising so I should be alright. (-: 1 2muchfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
