How many weeks did you go before you were filled? I am 12 weeks out and still no need for a fill losing great and not hungry, so I am curious who else fits into this profile......?

That is great for you!!! I was banded 12/12 and have already had 2 fills and am going to go in for a 3rd in about 2 weeks! Consider yourself lucky!!

My doctor has his patints go in every 6 weeks. My band goes up to 10 cc. Right now I'm at 7.5 cc and I've had 2 fills. So in my next fill he'll give me only .5 cc and then I should be at my sweet spot soon which is somewhere around 7 to 8.5 cc. It depends on the person of course.

I didn't get a fill until 6 months after I was banded. It was then that I started slowing down. I've had another one since.

Surgery was 12/17 and 1st fill was 4 weeks to the day, and I'm scheduled for another one on Feb 18th. I'll keep going back every month until we have the right amount!

My first 1st fill was 5 weeks after surgery, 3 weeks later 2nd fill, 2 weeks later my 3rd fill. I am at 4.5 in a 10cc band and have good restriction.

You and I were banded around the same time. My date was Nov. 5th. I have not had a fill yet either. Although I see my Dr. on Wed., and I will definately schedule to get one then. I have been happy with my loss so far, but lately I have been fighting my old demons of nightly snacking due to hunger.
