I went in today for my second fill. My first was on 2/25/10 and that was 1.5cc. I have had a couple stuck episodes but I am almost sure that it was user error(too fast, too big) Well I laid down on the table, doc asked me how I was doing, told him about the couple episodes so he says he will just give me a small amount. Then he asked how much I had lost since last fill and when I told him 10lbs, he said NO MORE right now. He said I was losing too fast and they only want me to lose 1/2 to 1lb a week. Are you freaking kidding me. Ughhh I at least wanted a little more. Anyone else have this problem

hi im currently working as a barriatric nurse and do band fills all day long, since having my gastric band and finding it hard to source a filler, i now offer band fills to anybody using the huber safety needle, pls ring me for an appointment craig maxwell on 01942700486 or 07881613646

I went yesterday also for my 2nd fill... I was banded on 1/12. first fill 2/24 of 1.75 cc. Yesterday I got another 1.5 cc. and I'm telling you right now that I feel like I should have asked him to back down to 1 instead of the 1.5 I have ahad a hard time getting ANYTHING down last night and this morning. I wanted more because I lost nothing since the first fill! I was exactly the same weight yesterday as I was in 2/24. I've been told that it will ease up because as you lose the band loosens. I would just go with what your Dr says. Obviously you trusted him enough to do the surgery so he should know if 10 lbs a month is to much. I wouldn't stress to much over it. If your losing then you don't need more restriction. It's when you plateau, or stop (like me) that you need it.

My doctor feels the same way!! I have been averaging 14 lbs a month and I was so proud..he said that it was too fast..I didn't want a fill but I couldn't understand why he wasn't as thrilled as I was. We agreed to disagree..everyone is different and I haven't differed from the beginning..14 lbs/per month
