I emailed my Doc's office yesterday about setting up my second fill appointment. She said that I do not have to wait 4 weeks, I could do it earlier if I wanted.
When should I set up my second fill? Three weeks from the first? Two weeks?
Am I trying to plan too early, or should I just wait until I feel like I need it?
I need your advice, experienced bandsters!
UPDATE:
It sounds like I can go in on any Monday or Tuesday afternoon for a fill. I don't think it's really much of a problem getting an appointment to get in for a fill. The only reason I'm trying to plan early is for the flight. I don't want to get stuck without a ticket or nothing reasonable to buy for 2 weeks or something.

If they can get you in quickly, I'd wait until you feel like you need it.
ReplyDeleteI had my second fill two weeks after my first one. That timing worked out really well for me - just as the restriction from #1 started to wane, I had #2 to kick things into high gear. I didn't actually lose any weight at all between #1 and #2, but after the second fill I've lost slowly and consistently. I had fill #3 yesterday, so far I feel really restricted. In fact, I'm worried it might be too tight.
ReplyDeletemy doc likes you to wait until you FEEL you need it before you get your fills. so it always varies depending on the patient. he does it as a personal feeling thing (feeling hungry/not satisfied) vs. a time thing. like amanda said, if they can get you in fast, i'd wait til you feel you need it.
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteDid they have you set up a follow-up before you left the first fill? I've got an appt to see the doc every month for the first year.
It was another beautiful day here in south central Nebraska, but it is dang windy!
