June 24, 201214 yr As anyone had luck with getting totally unfilled and starting over? The dr said no more fills for me but I don't think I'm at restriction. Still have 25 pounds to go. Is it worth making an appointment with my surgeon?
June 24, 201214 yr from what i have read on this forum most who have been filled then completely unfilled never reach that same level of restriction again. If you are at max fill then i suggest u look at other methods to shed this 20lbs ... u dont mention how much fill u have or what size band so is it just your doctor who wont fill u any more and another might ? Something needs to change tho, maybe look at what calories u are eating or how those calories are made up, reduce the carbs maybe increase the protein etc same with exercise increase it , u are so close to goal dont let this beat u, the solution is out there somehwere u just need to make sure u burning more clories than u are consuming.. a defecit of 500 calories per day will lead to a loss of 1lb per week.. some of us, like i was had to stick to 1000 calories a day and still burn lots of calories to lose the weight u just need to start changing things around till u find something that works. Exercise... maybe do more strength after your cardio that will help burn more calories, good luck with it anayways if u think u have a leak in the band maybe go back to your surgeon anyways and get it checked out
