Anyone else out there with NO Fill
Your Dr. Sounds like he knows what he is saying. Stick with the unfill Most people average weight loss with fills are 7- 10 pds.. IF you can loose without a fill...WHY NOT good luck Diane in San Diego

Anyone else out there with NO Fill
I have been banded for 1 1/2 yrs. had 1 slip. got it fixed. have lost 60 pds total..i have had fills and unfills. I am unfilled at this time frame. I am going to stay unfilled until I start to gain weight, if I do. I either get to tight of a till or not enough.. I had a bad cold that is why I got unfilled last month.. I could not kick the cold and kept bringing up all my foods at night time. I have already paid for one slip out of my pocket. my bust on my part and I learned a hard lesson on banding.. Eat slowly and chew so I didn't know you can have restriction with just the band itself. Now I know and I am going to see how long I can go unfilled... 3/27/06 Dr. Lopez 62" 178/120/118 current weight 1 yr.. thanks to all for their input HELPS ME OUT a great deal diane in IB Ca

San Diego after getting Banded
If I had one place to go and I was in San Diego, I would visit Balboa Park, and see the museums. I live here in San Diego, I think you will like the Park and if you get tired, you can go back to your hotel Good luck and enjoy San Diego's finest city. Diane

Picking Goal??
I use the BMI for a goal weight.. Plus what I feel is comfortalbe for me. Somtimes I feel I need to be lower than I am, then people tell me I look too thin.. So the extra 5 to 8 pds makes a difference for me. So my goal weight was 125, and I normally weigh 120 and that is good for me.. IF I get down to 115,, to low and I dont look good. dianel
