I was only banded two days ago, and my surgeon said 4 to 6 weeks. I'm not going to schedule it though until I see how much restrcition I actually have when the swelling goes down...

I don't know when my fill is because my surgeon does not have a set fill schedule. It is all individual based. If you are following all the rules, and still hungry and want to eat a lot, then you get a fill. I know some there is some people in my program that have never had a fill and continue to lose weight.

I can't imagine having a fill. I have a 10cc band in place and they had to empty it on Friday (4.2cc). I feel better now and can hold a bit more but, after the week I had, I am terrified of getting a fill. It didn't help the lump in my chest but it did help- I can at least picture eating again some day. I'm on mushy stage but, still not taking much. I am sure it'll get better soon.

I have creamed Soups, cottage cheese, applesauce, puddings, I put a small piece of chicken in the processor and let it go added some fat free gravy and it was yummy. Mashed potatoes, smashed up veggies. I figure I can have almost anything as long as I can puree, blend, and mush it up. Oh yeah, scrambled eggs (with cheese of course!).
