I hadn't had a fill since July and I was optimized. I was going in for my 1 year check up and considered a fill because I only lost 7lbs since August.

My appetite had gone up, but probably not enough to need a fill, I just wanted it.unsure.png

I got a .5ml fill on Wednesday and since I had to get some of my fill taken out before, I took it slow and did all liquids until Friday. It was difficult keeping down even the clear Soups and liquids but I thought the swelling would go down. I had some Soup with little pieces of corn on Friday evening and PB'ed. Saturday morning, I could barely keep Water down so I called the surgeon and he met me in ER and took out all the Fluid in my band.

I'm almost at my 1 year mark so I'm kicking myself for getting a fill. I was losing and maybe not at the pace I wanted but now I have to start over, fill wise. I'm hoping my story can help encourage you to take it slow.

I will never understand why they would take out ALL the Fluid when it seems like just a tiny unfill would have done the trick.

I had a complete unfill 10 months ago because I wasn't able to keep anything down either. I put on quite a bit of weight but they thingk due to me be dehydrated most of it was Water weight. I did put on some extra pounds but my doctor wasn't too concerned however I'm still struggling to find my "sweet spot". Trying to get back on track but the weight hasn't came off but I'm still losing inches.

I 've had the same problem since Oct when I had my revision due to sliappage. I finally am back at 5 cc and seem to be okay, unless I eat something I should not. I am loosing again, and that is my main thing, as I had gained about 10 lbs between OCt and Jan. Good luck to us all , Karen

I have a similiar story. My band had shifted down so they took half my Fluid out. Ugh, right before Christmas! I went back last week and they gave me half of what they took out before. I haven't noticed a big difference and am mad at myself for being greedy in the first place and getting a fill when it wasn't absolutely necessary. I guess it's a learning process so hang in there Suzahhn.

      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!!
