May 27th Banding

I feel so much better already by cutting out pop and carbs. I haven't had a problem on liquid diet as of yet. 6 more days for my 2 week check in. I'm hoping fills start then. What should I expect after my 2 week check up?

I've never seen anyone get a fill after 2 weeks. Your sutures holding the band in place are still healing.

After 2 weeks? Depends on your doctors personal protocol. There's no standard as each Dr is different. Most likely just more of the same except they'll let you start adding back in mushies and some semi solids?

I wouldn't expect a fill till your 30 day checkup.

Ok, I just didn't know what to expect but excited for what's to come!

Congrats on your lap band. My first fill was 6 weeks out. My first apt was just a check for the incisions and any questions. When you start other phases of the post op diet one good reminder is GO SLOW! and listen to your body. Good luck.
