When is your first fill?



Recommended Posts

I know that every dr does something a bit different. I was wondering when we are all scheduled for our first fills!

My first fill will be May 28th, which will be 6 wks from my surgery date.

My first fill is on Tuesday. My surgery was 4/4 so it will be nearly 6 weeks since surgery.

Surgery date was 4-8-08. I had my first fill on 5-9-08. I was told to make my next appointment for 4-6 weeks.

Banded 4-28 and first fill scheduled for 6-4. I was told if I'm too hungry, I can come in earlier. I love my Dr.!

My first fill is 5/19. I am taking the day off to see how I feel afterwards.

You should feel fine. I walked out of the room and right back to work after my first fill. Nothing to it....

Banded 4/7/2008 and first fill on Monday, May 19th! It's so weird to me that no one can predict which fill hits the "sweet spot". It's more about stages, wait and see and everyone is different...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
