Everyone's fills are different-What is the perfect fill?

I keep reading more and more questions about the fills and I'm in the same boat..What is the perfect fill?

I am on fill #3 and I'm up to 3.0cc. My doctor only likes doing his fills under the Flo and I'm so glad:D

I can watch how slow or fast the drink stuff goes through the band. My 2nd fill was 2.6cc and I thought for sure it was my magic spot but it only lasted 10 days and it was like I woke up and it was gone:eek:

Don't get me wrong I had some restriction but I only really noticed it when I ate fast or something was to dry-(Pork.)

I was for sure I had a leak.

Yesterday I had my fill #3 and he pulled out 2.5cc. That made me feel so much better, since on my 2nd fill he only pulled out .75cc.

I still don't remember what he said the other .75 cc went?

I was just in shock... :P :P :D

This is how my doctor explained the fact some of us might need a small tweak more often. We have fat. We have fat around where they put our band and as we lose weight that fat will go away. So we will need to have the Fluid in the band taken out and then put back in to be tight again.

:P Like a balloon that has been blown up and sat around for a month. It gets loose but if you untie it-take out the air and blow it back up it is like new again-TIGHT!

I understand now!

I guess if you have not had a fill-I strongly recommend you ask your doctor to do it under the flo so you can see...

My doctor charges $60.00 for in office fills and to do it in the Hospital under flo is $180.00. TOTALLY worth the $$$.

I know there are lots of you on here that get fills in the office and that might be why you are only getting .5cc at a time.

They don't want to over fill you!!!

I have not been losing much weight since my 2nd fill. I have really been fighting the scales to just move :huytsao

I am losing inches :D I started out in a size 26 pants and I'm buying 20-22 now!

I know after Christmas I had a hard time getting back on track. Everytime I turned around I found more chocolate to eat:cry

Then next was Valentines day:cry But I am back on track finally:) I have lost 2 pounds last week and now with this new fill I hope to get the scales moving again..200 here I come!

So I hope this helps someone...

Take care

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
