What is a lap band fill? A lap band fill is the common term for gastric band adjustments. Once surgery is performed, there is a period of healing that must take place before the first adjustment. Usually, the first fill takes place around 6 to 8 weeks. It involves injecting saline into the port just under the skin which is connected to the band. Prior to this, there may be little change in appetite.
Lap-Band Surgery Information. The Lap-Band is an adjustable silicone band placed around the top part of the stomach during a laparoscopic surgical procedure designed to restrict food intake. At the time of surgery, a small device called a port (or reservoir) is placed under the skin of the abdomen. It is connected by tubing to the Lap-Band and allows the surgeon to periodically adjust the tightness of the band. This is done by injecting a small amount of saline water into the port.
