First fill?

[cosmoalexa 0]

I'm pretty new here but I've been reading around for a couple months now. I have an appointment tomorrow, I will be 2 weeks post op. Just wondering if I will be getting a fill? I feel really no restriction and I would like to think I am very well healed. I never had any pain after surgery and now I feel starved! I am sure to get in all my Protein for the day but I also feel hungry in between meals. I didn't know if 2 weeks out was too early for a fill. I also have an appointment scheduled for 6weeks post op, so I didn't know if I would be filled tomorrow or at the later appointment.

Most all doctors prefer 4-6 weeks for the first fill. Filling the band so soon might cause the sutures to be compromised as the pouch struggles to push food through the stoma? A fill can also increase the likelihood of a stuck episode which also isn't good for new sutures.

You're in Bandster Hell till you get enough fills to feel some longer term satiety. Till then it's just another diet. Sorry.
