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

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

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
