How often are you allowed to have a fill?

I'm just curious, the nurse told me we have to wait 3 weeks but the doctor told me to come back in 2 if I still don't have any restriction. (I just had my 2nd fill 1/21 - I now have a total of 6cc's). He told me to wait until the 29th to see how I feel.

I was able to go back twice at two-week intervals. The second time was under fluro to check to see if I really needed a fill, and I did. The barium went through my band in a swoosh.

How much is in your band now?

I just had my 5th fill last week that brought me up to 8.5cc.

My Dr does fills every 2 weeks if you need them. I had my first one on 01/06/09 and I will have my second one on 01/29/09.

My doctor required the first three to be 4 weeks apart. After that, I can schedule one anytime I need to. They still reserve the right to say that I don't need one. I actually heard them tell a lady that she didn't need one because her weight loss was pretty steady. The fills are always done under fluro in my doctor's office.

Pretty much as often as I want, though he recommends two weeks between. But if really struggling he is willing to do them at weekly intervals.

Well, I see my doctor every 4-weeks and can have a fill if I need it during that 4-week visit. However, she did state once, if I needed a fill before the next visit that she would give me one. I have never taken her up on that offer yet.

I've been going about ever 2-3 weeks. During Christmas I went once in a month, and it killed me. They had to take some out before, then by the time I went back in Jan. I needed a fill and only lost 3lbs. They put back what thy had taken out, and I still feel like I need a fill and I'm really nervous to go on Monday because I have felt like I didn't lose ANYTHING :scared2:
