I just got Fluid put back in my band after having it taken out because of a possible slip. I had the fluid removed about 5 weeks ago and went in yesterday to start having it refilled. I gained 8 pounds over the 5 weeks (thank goodness it wasn't more) and my doc was okay with that. He started with a moderate fill but said we will need to be careful because I could react differently and may not need as much as I had before. I feel like I'm starting all over again, but I am so glad I am back on track and have my mindset to do well, just as when I first had my surgery.

It's amazing how gaining 8 pounds makes you feel. I definately don't want to do that again! I have about 30 pounds left to lose and am eager to get it moving in the right direction again! Just wanted to share. Good luck to everyone out there!

I hope everything goes well for you this time:)

Thank you for sharing your experience, I think it gives us all perspective. Good luck on those last 30 pounds! You can do it!!!

I wish you the very best.....I totally understand about the wt gain, been there done that, started over, too, but I GAINED 29 pounds!!!! It was horrible and I got it back off but because of having to be so careful with fills I am constantly worrying about gaining again. Let us know about your ongoing journey.

good luck getting back on track! I would be sad also if I gained 8 lbs. But you can do it.!!!
