Fill too tight

Hello All

I'm sorry I haven't been online but it's been a busy couple of weeks. I went in today for another fill and the doctor was going to give me 1.5cc's. Afterwards they gave me some water to drink and it would not go down! I was sitting there talking to the nurse practitioner and I just felt aweful. All of a sudden the water came back up. Thankfully there was a sink in the room so I didn't get any on either of us. They took out 5ccs of saline so my fill ended up being only 1cc. They think i'm getting to my sweet spot so hopefully I'll be there soon.

 

I have a question. About how much weight do you loose in a week with the band on average?

1 pound! LOL! That's my avg. Now, I have lost 2 pounds a week since my last fill on Dec. 16 but that's not my usual. I avg my total loss since surgery day and it avg out to be 4.8 pounds a month. I am happy though because it's staying off! That was the point of me getting the band is to keep it off! I have never kept off this amount of weight for 11 months!

First off you really cant compare because everyone loses weight at a different pace. I am a fast loser..I avg 3+ lbs a week or 13 lbs a month for a total of 130 lbs in 11 months..there was one month I didn't lose...well long story short I was in the hospital and gained 6 lbs and then had to lose those 6 lbs..changed my medication and I gained 9 lbs due to that change and had to lose those 9 lbs..so during that month I gained and lost 15 lbs...so I don't count that month in my equation. My doctors records show 13 lbs each month except the hospital/med change month and he shows a 1 lb weight loss that month.

I have been maintaining this for the last 2 months now BUT please remember you should not compare...everyone loses at their own pace. I wish you the very best. Positive attitude's are key to success without that I would gain a pound..every time I got down..the scale went up..so I learned quickly to put a smile on my face and think positive!!
