No fill for 90 Days???

[ML in VA 0]

Hi everyone, I'm hoping I can get some good advice here. I was banded on 8/14; went for my first fill on 9/24 (3 cc's in 10 cc band). Today I am still very hungry and feeling very little restriction. I called my doc's office to schedule another fill. I was told that I could not get another fill until after November 19th (90 days post op). The first appt. available was 12/4! :biggrin:

Does this sound right at all? In reading the boards, it seems most docs will give another fill if the patient requires it. I'm getting a little discouraged, although I am down 30 pounds since surgery date. Any advice would be appreciated.

Your doing great. 25lbs right? I was banded right after you on 8/26 and have only lost 24 lbs and had my first fill 1 week ago. I'm still hungry but I do have restriction. My MD will do another fill in 5 weeks so your only 3 weeks later than that. Every MD is different.

After my first fill I had one scheduled for the next week and then one the week after that....They put 3ccs in my 10cc band when they put in my lapband and then my first fill they put in 2 more ccs to give me a total of 5ccs....I guess every doctor/surgeon is different in what they want and how they do things....good luck
