Was your first fill at 4 or 6 weeks?

[Randi 0]

I could have sworn my surgeon said she does the first fill 4 weeks after surgery, but I don't recall reading any posts where fills were done that early. I recall mostly reading the first fill was done 6 weeks after surgery or later.

Are there any LBTers whose surgeon did their first fill at 4 weeks post-op? If so, was there any rationale given for the earlier fill schedule?

I had my surgery on 8-15 and my first fill was on 9-1. I guess my surgeon is really aggressive.

6 weeks, I think.

Mine was at 5 weeks. I think the Inamed booklet states that the first fill should be done at 4-6 weeks, so it is primarily up to your doctor....most prefer to wait 6 weeks.

Four weeks, and believe me, I was ready.

My surgeon will do them starting at 4 weeks out. I didn't actually have my first one until about 7 weeks due to my schedule at work was so busy during that time that I couldn't take an hour to go to the doctor. But, if I hadn't of been so busy, I would have definitely gone at 4.

Mine would not do a first fill until 8 weeks post-op.

4 weeks for me, but it was very, very small (and I was fine with that!)

My first fill was 4 months later...

It all depends on how much weight you are losing. If you are losing weight, then no need for a fill, if not, then you should get one..

I had my surgery on the 5th, and I'm scheduled to go back on the 20th. I don't know if he'll do a fill then, his assistant said maybe, maybe not.

My doc requires you to wait 6 weeks. I had mine in week 7 due to scheduling issues.
