Lap Band Fills

Greetings and salutations everyone,

As you guys know, I had Lap Band surgery on 12/11/08.  Due to the holidays, I have my first post-op appointment tomorrow.  Just curious if anyone knows how long between surgery and my first "fill".  I think my stomach swelling has dissapated cause I dont feel like I have as much restriction as I did a couple of weeks ago.  I know some people call this "bandster hell" because your stomach swelling has gone and the band is looser until you get the fill.  I totally understand it now.....I'm having to really watch myself and quite frankly I'm really looking forward to that "fill" to get some restriction back.  Any advice will be most appreciated.  I know my Doctor will tell me tormorrow but I figuered what the hell ask you guys now...LOL 

take care everybody,
Rob

OK, so went to see Dr. Brody today and he said I can get my first "fill" on February 10.  Looking forward to it....hopefully, I'll regain some of my restriction.  Otherwise, he said I was doing great and to keep up the good work.  I'm very pleased at this point.....take care everybody...Rob

Glad to hear it is going well for you!!  Keep up the great work.  You can do this!

Rob,
  So glad to hear that you are doing well! All of us December losers seem to be doing pretty good! Take care!
hugs,

Great......How much have you lost so far?  I had mine on th 29th of December.

Hi,

Thanks for your question.  Altogether, I have lost 35 lbs todate.  That's pre-op and post-op.  I think I will begin to see even better results after I get my "fill" on 02/10/09.  Nonetheless, I am extremely pleased thus far....
