How Often Being Filled?

[lisa806 0]

I have had a fill once a month since op. Still have appointment for this month but don't think i will need a fill this time as i still have good restriction. My surgeon still wants to see me just to check weight loss and that all is well with the band

Had to wait 6 weeks for the 1st, then 4 weeks, then 4 weeks again. Now if I need another it will be 4 weeks. Our clinic wants to see us every 4 weeks regardless. I think that's an excellent idea.

that is the schedule my husband and I have too. only difference is if we need a fill before that we can call and make an earlier appointment. the doc will see us and help us determine if a fill is needed. I.E. I had been losing weight steadily and only needed one fill, given at 6weeks post op, (I have APS 10CC band) I had 1.5cc in band, then two weeks after my appointment I was suddenly hungry all the time. called went in and he gave me a .5cc fill. he said that as I lose weight that it is coming off the stomach too and so all of a sudden the band loosened up on me. I have had a fill each visit since then and am up to 3.2cc in my band. weight loss has slowed way down though and that is discouraging. :angry_smile:
