I get my first fill with Dr A in 3 weeks and having read too much here and on lapbandtalk.com I am somewhat afraid of how I will feel when I get filled. I know it takes time to get to that sweet spot and I have heard that he is conservative in fills so here is my ?'s how long between fills does he make you go? I heard from Cathy that one person bounces between fill and unfill every two weeks how did oyu feel after 1st fill? did you gain weight before fill? I lost 8 pounds liquid, but weigh a few pounds more now that I am one mushies. Help please

The way I understood, and I may be wrong..that the fills are based on our 3 days prior food diet and the inability to lose weight within 2 weeks of a fill...

Singh is pretty loose with his fills, but he expects you to: Keep a food diary Follow the band rules Show a pattern a weight loss or should I say stall... I've never had an issue - I've had 2 fills since being banded 6 months ago but he's always said to just call for another fill in 2 weeks if I don't have restriction. I didn't ask for a fill at my last visit - I want to wait until I'm about 25ish from "goal" before my next fill.
