hi guys,

just wondering.........6 weeks out, 25 down, went in for first post op.

doc said no fill, dont need it

eating 1200 cals a day and feeling good

i track all my cals daily (sometimes go over)

so far, so good

so is it a good thing he said no fill for now?

dont see him again for another 6 weeks?

hope i can keep going without fill....

guess i will call him if i end up starving huh?

thanks for reading

: )

Love it!! We need a no-fill group here.

I'm four months out too and no fill. I don't feel like I need one plus I'm scared to get one and have difficulty with it.

my thoughts exactly!!!

i had an appt yesterday for a fill and called to reschedule

my son graduates from college in June and i dont want to have ANYTHING go wrong between now and then

i will be in the car for days and dealing with my EX

i think thats enough for now

38 down

yes i do eat between meals

must have snacks, have always been that way

just keeping it at 1200 total per day

so maybe the 17th of June i will get one, maybe not

i eat to fast also i know and i drink with meals

try not to drink much but do have some liquid with no probs

i know that wont be the case after a fill

plus doc is 2 hours away!!

thanks for your help and take care !!

JA

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

duh

congrats on 58!!!

i cannot wait till onederland

dont remember the last time i was there

THANKS FOR ALL THE REPLIES EVERYONE

XOXOXO

If you aren't hungry all the time, you don't need a fill. For me, my hunger was much less just when I got the band then I had one fill and bam, it was totally gone.

Did he put fluid in when you had the band placed? Mine did. I had 4 cc after surgery. Didn't know that until went for 6 wk visit. Have only had one fill , so I gave 5 cc and good restriction. Down 61 lb in 3 months. Guess it is different for everyone

Wow 4 months and down 70 pounds!??!! That is absolutely amazing and no fills either? Any tips for success?

That sounds like what my doctor would do. If we are losing 1-2 lbs a week he doesn't see any need for a fill. If not, and we aren't having any problems, then he will consider giving another fill.

i asked if they put anything in and never got a straight answer

forgot to ask doc

will try to remember at next visit

weigh to go on your loss girl !!!
