I wish you the best and just keep strong. You will be fine...I just know it!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194299634556467542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932736446111682488.post-61592322394366142612010-02-23T21:42:30.592-06:002010-02-23T21:42:30.592-06:00I agree with the others. 6 months is wayyy too lo...I agree with the others. 6 months is wayyy too long unless you are at your sweet spot! I can get Fills somewhere between 3-6 wks apart. A lot of others can get them as often as 2 wks apart! I would definitely call and find out why you are to wait for 6 months!!!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992977491095091038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932736446111682488.post-69735810630616307722010-02-22T21:57:33.000-06:002010-02-22T21:57:33.000-06:00you should be able to get another fill after a few...you should be able to get another fill after a few weeks. especially with such a conservative first fill. insist on it or go elsewhere. what are you supposed to do suffer and battle hunger for the next 6 months? you already spent your whole life doing that and that is why you got surgery to end that torture. my doctor always tells me after a fill if that isnt enough come back.lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038101627479448044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932736446111682488.post-84337391105525915292010-02-22T21:16:36.721-06:002010-02-22T21:16:36.721-06:00My fills are anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks apart when...My fills are anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks apart when I was really ramping up to restriction. I've maybe 7 fills (I lost count), but it took my a lot of fill to get restriction.<br />To be honest there's no way a could go 6 months without a fill - you definitely need to follow up with them.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07045822533798781579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932736446111682488.post-37400825186229151242010-02-22T21:00:29.051-06:002010-02-22T21:00:29.051-06:00SIX months?
