Post op: time between fills



Recommended Posts

Don't tell at me! I know tight is bad...

I'm 8 days post op and I'm dying to feel the band quietly at work. How long did your doctor make you wait between fills at the beginning? I've heard quite a range so I'm just trying to see the range. Thanks!

I had my first fill at exactly 4 weeks.

First fill at four weeks then every two weeks after that until I hit the green zone.

My 1st fill was at 6 weeks, and then approximately 30 days between fills until I and surgeon felt I was at "green zone".

Wow. Every 4 weeks sounds common. That's a long time. :/

My dr requires a 6 wk waiting period between fills. Once, last year, the nurse got me in at 3 wks cuz I was going on vacation. And it was like my 8th fill and over 2 yrs in.

Mine was 6 weeks for the first fill and now it's every 4 until I hit the green zone. Seems pretty standard for most surgeons.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
