Lap-Band GETTING ANOTHER FILL

I would like to know if it is to soon to get a fill? I had a fill on March 7th and I have 57 lbs so far. But is it to soon to get another fill? I do have some restriction. Can somebody let me know

My surgeon does the first fill at 6 weeks and the second at 8weeks post op. But times may vary among the different Docs, I'm not sure.

Charlotte, Congratulations you are doing so good. You should be very proud. How many fills have you had? If you think its time to see the doctor I would make an appt. From my 1st fill to my 2nd fill was only about 4 weeks. Theresa

Hi Theresa ! How are doing? I am so glad to hear from you. How are feeling? I've only had one fill and that was in March. But I am thinking if I should go for another one because I don't want gain weight I have gained maybe 1-2lbs but then I make sure I lose that because I am scared I will get out of control. But there are days that I have alot of restrictions and I can't eat or eat very little. And when I gain the first thing I do is drink more water and do exercise and walk more and that seems to help me. So you had 2 fills already? If you mind how much have you lost so far? Do you have restrictions? Hope to hear from you soon. Take Care!

Hello,

I am doing real good. Still learning about the band. Some days I have tons of restrictions and the next I can eat more. Some days I have a hard time till laite afternoon. I still drink a protein drink some days even though I don't think we have to. Have you made a appt.? Do you have some foods that are hard to eat? Have you got sick yet? I was glad to see you back on the site. I was wishing I got your email. I had surgery on 2-1 first fill on 3-15 and second fill on 4-12. No plans yet for a third yet. I weigh in every Sun. (I use to weight myself 10 times a day so my husband takes it out only once on Sun.) I am down about 48 pounds. I think its going to slow down a lot. I haven't seen the 150's in years. We joined a health club and I go 3 nights a week after work when not many people are there. It is a 24/7 gym. I have to try to drink more water and I am back to drinking coffee in the morning. (I love ice coffee) I sometimes have a little tenderness on my left side. Do you? I sometimes wonder what that is. Hope to talk to you soon. P.S. The person that had surgery the same day as me went for a second fill the same day as me. It was weird that we both called for a appt. around the same time. Keep up the good job. Theresa

My dr did my first fill on April 5th, my second May 4th......I go back on June 7th to see if I need another fill.....I think I do because I can still eat more then 1 1/2 cup of food...So if you need more then 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup Id say to the dr fill me up!!!!!!!!But I have to say you've done very good on the weight lose!!!!!!!!
