Go for your checkups every month in year 1

Follow-up care is very important. Especially the first year. Everybody's body is different; therefore, the second year postop is also just as important if one can continue with followup care.

Yeah, but I sure do dread next year when the copays go up. Ugh!!!

This helped me greatly. I had my first fill on 8/29 and was not told when to schedule another appt. I spoke to the nurse today and she told me I needed to get in ASAP. I have an appt on tuesday and hopefully will get another fill as well. I can definitely feel my appetite increasing. I wasn't sure when I needed another fill, but I think it's time.

I'm looking forward to my next monthly appointment. I'm still a bit confused do I call to set up the date on when it is or do they?I had my surgery 8/28 my first fill 9/28 and my second fill 10/14 but as of yet I haven't had any counselling.I feel like I'm not in the right zone for all of this and after my 2nd fill I'm still hungry all the time.I'm trying to control my eating but old habits seem to creep back in before long........

I would say you need to call. I was waiting for the dr's office to call me and they never did. I won't let that happen again.
