How soon too soon for 1st fill?

[twntower]

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,

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.

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.
