First Timer
NO! dont get fills because everyone is getting them remember this is not "gastric bypass" your doing great you should loose 1-2 pounds per week with exercise (4-8 pounds month) you lost 22 it can be a mind teaser when you listen to every one else im eatting 1200-1400 cal a day and was band 05-05-08 and lost a total of 50 as this month im happy!. you may be like me and loose little weight but a great deal of Inch, this is your body it needs to heal, adjust it may take a while but dont rush it you will just find . i only had one fill and im doing good so why get another fill because some people say it took them 4-5 fills ? listen to your body.. take care god bless.
