For some reason lately I haven't lost any weight... I thought I hit my sweet spot about a month ago .. But now I'm thinking I need a fill ..... Why is that ? I thought I was too tight , now I'm not so sure .. Can someone give me some feed back ..

Hi:

It's normal to be at your sweet spot for a while and then need some fill. As you lose weight you lose weight where your band is too. There are so many variables that come into play with your band.

Sounds to me like you need a fill.

Good luck!

When was your last fill? Everyone hits that wall! It's normal. Don't get discouraged. Remember weather has an effect on band as well. In hotter weather you'll find yourself less hungry as you progess and have your fills. Keep in mind your body shouldn't lose more than a lb a day. That allows your metabolism adjust to weight loss, rapid loss only will lead to quicker gaining. You should be adjusted every three months in beginning. Don't get frustrated don't think your making mistakes your doing it right patients will perseverance and results. Keep the faith and contact me if I can help more sweetie!

Feeling the pain...I go August 1, I'm in plateau as well...hang in there. This forum has helped my attitude about the long journey. We will get through this. In concentrating on Protein, liquids, less far, more greens, and more cardio to burn calories. I've got 50-60 pounds to goal. Good luck.

As little as .05 cc's has a "demonstrable difference" in the band. I had .3 taken out once due to illness, and when I wasn't sick anymore it felt like I could plow through a ton of food. Like I didn't have a band.y surgeon had me come in once a month the first year.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
