Congrats on your weight loss! I had my first fill at 5 weeks. 3 months seems a little long, but every doctor is different. Have you been hungry, or has you restriction been ok?

I am 3 months post op. I had first fill at 7 weeks and just had my second fill. I was supposed to have it at 6 wks - but vacation conflict - so I went an extra week from wht he normally does. Every doc has their own style. There is nothing to it. Just a slight needle prick . No flouroscopy. My doc said he doesn't like to have to radiate people unnecessarily....only if he cannot find the port. Carlotta

Congrats on your weight loss!! I just had my first fill yesterday and I am 4 weeks out. No problems, was worried because I did not know what to excpect but was a breeze. Was given 3cc but water seem to get a little hung up so she went down to 2cc. Was waiting 3 months your decision or your Dr's? Have you had good restriction up until now?

I had my surgery 4 months ago and I just had my 4th fill yesterday. My doctor is very strict when it comes to fills. My 1st one was 6 weeks post op and I only got 1cc and 2 weeks later my 2nd fill I got 2cc and my 3rd fill I went up to 2.5 cc and yesterday only up to 2.8cc which was nothing. I will go back in 3 weeks and if I need another he will do another fill
