Hi guys, i got banded 31st May 2008. I lost 50lbs in the first 6mths and then got pregnant. I didn't have any fills to allow me to eat enough so as not to restrict what was eating. I went off the rails and due to ill health and being bed bound, got into bad habbits and because i was pg, i kinda stuck my head in the sand.
After my son was born i was 14lbs off my pre-surgery weight :thumbup:
I went for a fill but felt no restriction. I've only room for 1 or 2 small fills. so whats the point?
I'm doing slimming world and the weight is coming off again, but i want this band i paid for to work again.
Should I have my and drained, bar the first 5 mls and wait a month (sticking to slimmer world etc) and then start again?
Has anyone else done anything simular? did it work? I have to pay for fills and with a baby about i can't afford to waste money you know.
My son is 9mths old now, i really need to do something about this.
Thanks so much for any replies and or advice. xxx
