GETTING A FILL/UNFILL:
A fill adjustment adds fluid to the Lapband system.
The following Fill Adjustment Diet is to be followed the day of all fill adjustments.
Day 1: Liquids only, on day of fill. NO SOLID FOOD – nothing thicker than Tomato Soup.
Day 2: Full Liquids/pureed
Day 3: Soft foods
Day 4: Back to Regular food
The Fill Adjustment is quick and nearly painless, and is done in a clinical room under fluoroscopy for guidance. The Surgeons and Physician Assistants conduct all Fill Adjustments. Fill Adjustments will be done no sooner than 3 weeks apart. This gives your body time to adjust to the new fill volume.
Note: We Accept Transfer Patients for Fills!
Whether you’ve moved or your LapBand surgeon has retired, we accept transfer patients who want to continue their Fills and follow up care. Please call us for more information on how to become a transfer patient.
