fills

[lock27]

Does anyone know how bad is to get a fill prior to the 6 week waiting period. my doctor can do it at 5 weeks or at 9 weeks.

I would say it depends on your healing time, I have seen some people getting fills as soon as 4 weeks for one reason or another. I think getting it at 5 weeks is much better than getting it at 9 weeks because without a fill many people go back to past eating habits. I would say wait till you are 2-3 weeks post op before making a decision (unless you must book far in advance for travel reasons or to secure an appointment).

by healing time, what do you mean? my doctor email me and told me if i could go see him next week which will be 3 and half weeks.

Try to see if your doctor will fill you at 5. Don't wait the 9 if possible. I have to because of plane tickets and it is HORRIBLE!! I am gaining back some of the 25 I lost since banding.
