How long did you wait before getting 2nd fill?



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill on May 11th. I feel like it wasn't enough and feel I should go back in for another.

Im curious, how long did everyone wait between their 1st and 2nd fill?

I waited about 3 1/2 weeks from my first fill. Everyone is different so if you are feeling like you need another one make an appointment. I know my doc will not give you an appointment until after 2 weeks from the last fill you had. Good luck.

My Doctor wants me to wait 5-6 weeks before my second fill. I got 4cc on my first fill and could really tell a difference. Good luck!

I've been lucky enough that I haven't had to have my second fill for quite a while. At least I think it's been quite a while since my first fill. I'm not sure when most people get their second fills. I had my first fill on Feb 4th and now, tomorrow I need to go call my doctor for a second fill.

Hi. I went in for my 1st fill May 28. I was told that 75% of folks are in pretty quickly for a 2nd fill. I got my 2nd one yesterday, which was less than 2 wks. later. Hoping this will be better.

Hope this helps.

      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.
