fill??

When do you normaly get your first band fill??

I go back to the doctor sept.23, that will be about 6 weeks after my surgery. I hope I get my first fill because I' am so hungry and have cheated alittle with no ill effects. I'm just afraid I might stretch the little pouch that the band has made.

Any thoughts or info???

I really think it depends on your doctor. Mine was 1 month after surgery and my 2nd was 1 month after that. My dr said to call when I feel I need another one.

I am totally feeling your pain. I just had my first fill--five weeks post-op--and I still don't seem to have any restriction. I am straving to death! I've lost 16 pounds, but no thanks to the band. I am trying to eat like I will have to when I get restriction, but I am worried that I may go on a binge soon if I don't start feeling full! I am doing everything I am supposed to, but I don't know how long I can keep it up. I am calling the dr. tomorrow because I am not schedule for another fill for six more weeks. I'm starting to fill like my stomach has some kind of defect that doesn't ever get the sensation of feeling full and that is why I am fat to begin with!

I hope your fill works for you!

Anwa, I had the same question awhile ago...I can't really describe how (I had to follow directions), but I can tell you where to find the directions! Go to the search box and type in "How do I insert a ticker?" and the how-to thread will come up (originally posted by haffdime). Good luck!:crying:
