Musiclover Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I had my surgery April 29th and I am having my fill done by a doctor in Vancouver. They booked me for May 27th but I am worried that is too soon to get a fill done. When did everyone else have their first fill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mona-camille Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I believe that is too soon. If you had surgery at Dr. Ortiz clinic, he would tell you to wait 6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have my surgery with Dr. Ortiz and he did tell me that but I know a few others had it done at 5 weeks. I think I am pushing it at 4 weeks - I am going to call and reschedule I think. What if there isn't enough scar tissue and it slips the band - stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calicat Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 It's 4-6 weeks post-op for first fill - but Dr. Ortiz waits the 6. It's a good thing - I wouldn't have been ready at 4 weeks. I'm 5 weeks today and just now able to eat solids comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musiclover Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I looked at the calendar again and my fill date is actually May 30th so that is 4 weeks and 3 days after my surgery. I guess I'll phone the fill doctor and see what he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
