So I've lost 117lbs and now I have a slip. My surgeon removed all the fluid to see if it gets better. I don't need to lose anymore weight but I'm nervous that I'll start gaining. I moved out of the state so I don't even have my surgeon anymore. I was traveling in town and got him him to see me. I also lost my job and insurance recently so my options are very limited. So worried about this...

The band didn't lose that 117 pounds. You did! It just helped a little.

You can maintain without restriction. You just need to be a little more cautious.

Just remember how you lost the weight in the first place.

• Eat Breakfast
  
• Chew well
  
• Stop eating when you are no longer hungry
  
• Document everything you eat
  
• Only drink calorie free beverages
  
• Don't drink while you eat
  
• Drink at least 64 ounces of Water a day
  

Good luck and remember you aren't alone. Check in here often for support.
