No restriction after first fill

Virginiann - I waited until about 3 weeks after my 1st fill to call my doctor back to make another appt. for my 2nd fill. That's why it was a full month. But as far as I know, it's totally what each person feels comfortable with. & you are having regular feelings about wondering if its yet another diet you've failed at. Me too...but this is a process that we have to work at & really pay attention to our bodies. Believe me, your body will tell you if you need another fill or if you're fine & have found the "sweet spot".

My rules are that for a full day after a fill is only liquids.

I can understand about wanting to get to the right fill volume just because each fill costs X amount of $$. When I was researching Band doctors & surgery centers I chose the one I went to because of experience not because of cost. I paid more for my surgery, but for the 1st year after surgery all of my after care & every fill or unfill I need is all free. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the higher cost surgery to anyone, as long as it came w/the first year of free care. That way you have no worries about racking up the fees from how many fills you just might need.

Yeah, I have to agree... I have no restriction either and before reading this, I thought it was all me and I was feeling pretty down about it.

Think I'll call tomorrow and ask for another fill because my weight loss has stopped after my first fill as well

I had insurance that did pay for the majority of my surgery. they paid for the first 90 days post op visits. of course the first fill for me was scheduled for day 92. it cost me over $275. i have had 2 fills so far with no real restriction. i too was aslo hoping to not have to spend thousands of more dollars to feel any benifit from this surgery.

very discouraged

I am glad to see I am not a failure after my 1st fill. I did not feel any restriction after the first few days. My appointment for my 2nd fill is this week. Hopefully this one will put some restriction on me.

This being stuck at 11 pounds since 11-25-09 is getting depressing, especially when it was coming off for the first couple of weeks.

My clothes have gotten looser and I have been able to go down 2 pant sizes and shirt sizes. I just would like to see a change on the scale.
