(I have a neice named Kelly and we called her that when she was a toddler and had that cute little belly sticking out, although you should see her now--WOW!)

Anyway, I read your response to my post yesterday, and you mention that you have 9.8 in your band, my question is--when we do lose all the weight we want, our "stomachs" will be smaller, so won't the band be too large? I'm not getting this--we had to have the larger band cause our stomachs were bigger, but when our stomach shrinks due to weight loss, won't we need a smallr band? Thanks for your help!!

The way I understand it, that's why we need the fill.

Hi

Haha, I have been called that a fair few times also. Thats why I thought it would be appropriate...as well as my belly is where I carry most of my weight.

As for your question, I have asked that a lot of times to alot of different people. The most common answer being, as we lose weight in the active losing period, we need fills because our tummy shrinks etc, but as the weight slows up the adjustments become further and further apart, especially when we reach maintainance mode *wish*

I sometimes myself think I would have done better with the smaller band rather than a big band that has taken nearly max filling to get restriction, but either way once we all reach good restriction and follow the rules etc we all lose weight hopefully.

Good Luck!!!!
