1st fill 1 month post op, 2nd fill yesterday (just over 2 months post op), 3rd fill scheduled for two months from now. If you ar having problems with restriction and gaining it would be a good idea to call and let your surgeon know. When is your next one scheduled for?

If you are exercising alot you could be gaining muscle now also . Muscle weights more then fat.

sometimes people will gain when they are doing that also which is a good way because that means you are burning more calories when you are working out so it works out in the end.

Since I got my fills every 6 weeks I will venture to guess I got my second fill 12 weeks after surgery.

Hi Renee!

My first fill was at 3 weeks out and my 2nd fill was at 5 weeks out.  My surgeon took the approach of small fills every 2 weeks until I reached my sweet spot.  YMMV of course since all surgeons are different, but this worked well for me.  Good luck - boo on no restriction!
