MrsParris Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I know I have to wait 6 wks until my first fill, but after that how long is recommended to wait before the 2nd fill? Thanks, Kimberly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamworthit Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I know I have to wait 6 wks until my first fill, but after that how long is recommended to wait before the 2nd fill? Thanks, Kimberly Until you need one. Ok, that was kinda sarcastic I admit it. However, it really is based on your restriction and whether or not you lose more weight after your first fill. My doctor explained to me that fills are needed as you lose more fat around your stomach and the band loosens. I had my first fill on October 15, 2008 and I just called for an appt for the 2nd one. I am not sure I will need much to get to the sweet spot, but I can tell I am able to eat more now and I am relying on my common sense and willpower again. IMHO I would say the average is anywhere between 4-6 weeks? Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowierocksme Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hi Kimberly, I just had my 2nd fill on Thursday, it was exactly 4 weeks after my first fill. I had no restriction about 10 days after my first fill but I have awsome restriction now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CottonwoodAZ Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I have never had restriction since first fill so my 2nd is scheduled 3 weeks apart. I asked the dr if its to soon and he says if I cant feel it come back? Hoping I feel it this time at $250 a pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisem Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 After my first fill, I waited 5 weeks but should have gone back at week 4. It really depends on your restriction level though, and everyone is different. Good luck! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
