      When my band was totally unfilled for a different reason, not as serious as a slip, my surgeon was much more conservative with the rate of refilling the band. I guess factors include the size of your band, and how much it was filled prior to the slip. I tend to be conservative with fills. Everyone is different. Ask your surgeon what they feel is appropriate for your unique situation. Best wishes!

      Surgery date was 2/24/12, total of 96 pounds lost. Band removed for medical reasons 12/18/13. To date, no weight regained. Taking a day at a time, and making exercise a high priority!

      WTG Jim!! Well done, and inspirational. As for your goal, discuss this with your physician to determine a healthy goal weight.

  9. Does anyones band change when the weather changes? we just had our 1st freeze and as the temp dropped I was tighter and today I feel like I just had a fill just curious if anyone else has dealt with this

      No, weather and altitude changes have never seemed to affect my band, but stress does in a significant way. Just another way to show how different and individual we all are!
