Hi all, I had my band fitted back in June this year... the weight is coming off all be it very very slowly. I've had 3 fills and now have 7.25 in a 14ml.

My last fill was 4 weeks ago and I really felt it was working but maybe not quite in the green zone as yet. But this last week I can't keep anything other than liquids and soft foods down.

Anyone else encountered this? I'm waiting for a call back from my docs but thought I'd just ask on here first :)

It can sometimes take a while for a fill to kick in. Other factors can be stress, temperature and your menstrual cycle.

Sounds like your surgeon has been quite aggressive with fills (not necessarily a bad thing) and you may need a tiny unfill.

Your doc will be the best to guide you.

good luck

Getting even the slightest unfill can make a world of difference and put you in the green zone. I trust that you are taking tiny little bites and chewing your food well. If you are, then a slight unfill may be just what you need.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
