When to get a fill?

I have scheduled my first fill for August 27th. That is almost three months after my surgery which was June 5th. My patient consultant has told me that I do not need one because I have continued to lose weight. I even told her that I do not feel any restriction and that the weight I have lost has been because of the strict diet I have put myself on. I know I cant stick to it forever or else I would not have had surgery. Can anyone relate to this and if so what can you tell me to help me out?

She does NOT get to decide when you need a fill. Yes, we should be eating more healthy and making a new lifestyle for ourselves...BUT.....we did not pay all this money to do it strictly on our own! You need your band (your TOOL) to be filled in order to help you and to keep your portion sizes in check without having to CONSTANTLY think about it like you do on a regular DIET. I say get your fill and get it NOW!!!! You won't enjoy the true benefit of the band until you do.

Thank you for responding, I was wondering when somebody might. Thank you for your advice. I just never understood how I could pay so much money at be only losing a pound a week. Billy Fuschino
