Its really wierd one day I will feel extremely hungry and can eat a lot and the next day it seems that I have just had surgery and cant eat hardly anything. I didn't have a weight loss goal in mind ever. But when I reached 145 pounds I stopped loosing. It is harder for me to stay at 145 pounds but I exersize 4-5 days a week and keep a log of what I eat everyday so I know how many protein grams and calories I am consuming.

Hi, I was banded in September 2005 in mexico. I have never had a fill and I am at my goal weight and have kept it off for over a year. so it does happen. Let me know if you have amy questions. Bobbie

Yes I have had pain in my port sight from the beginning. My surgury was September 05,and I have been at my goal weight for a year. My port sticks out of stomach you can definately see it. It does not bother my husband or any one else that has seen me in a bikini. If my port starts to hurt it is an indication that I am thirsty. After a few big glasses of water it subsides. Hope this helps.

I was able to find a fill doctor through fill centers usa. They have a growing network of doctors.

I had mine done by Dr. De La Garza in Monterrey Mexico. It was the best experience I have ever had with any hospital or doctor.

All I know is that with me, my doctor told me if I was loosing two to three pounds per week not to have a fill. I was banded in September 2005 and have not had to have a fill. I have lost 85 pounds and have maintained my gosl weight for over a year. Just listen to your body.
