After your banding it takes about six weeks for your stomach to heal enough to support having a fill. There are two methods for fills, one with flouro and one without. Both require an injection of saline into the port which tightens the lapband hence the term restriction. You can either return to OCC for your fills or alternatively find a doctor or fill centre near you for aftercare. Planning your aftercare is critical and must be done prior to the surgery.

Hope that helps.
