twntower Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Hi all, I had my surgery on April 18th, ....Im already not feeling much restriction. I really want to go in for a fill sooner than later but most things I have read say 6 weeks. Anyone done any earlier..or know of a reason this could be unsafe to do earlier? Thanks, Rose Banded 4/18 weight 267 no fills yet current weight 246 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clynn Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 It is unsafe to do it earlier because your stomach is still healing from the surgery. Having a fill earlier could cause unnecessary irritation to the area or even cause a slip. Right now your focus needs to be on healing up rather than loosing weight so give your body the time in needs to be healthy. Take a deep breath, relax.

nancyotr Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I had my first fill at 4 weeks. The fill doctor I went to is Inamed certified and he did not see it to be a problem and I have not had any problems at all.
