I went for my month check up and was really excited. I was banded 12/21 and since preop I lost 18lbs and 22 since surgery. I feel soooo good and the doctor said I didn't need a fill. How many of you have lost a significant amount of weight without a fill?

Adrianna - My sister! I was also banded on 12/21. Started pre-op diet on 12/5 (liquids/protein shakes). I'm the opposite of you...I lost 23lbs pre-op and then another 17.5lbs through today for a total of 40.5lbs. No fill and I don't plan on getting one any time soon if I can help it. My will power is holding up and I'm still not quite that hungry so I'm going to save the fill for when I really need the help. Congrats to you on the 40lb loss! It's awesome having droopy butt pants sometimes, isn't it? :-)

We are both doing awesome and definitely band sisters! I would love to go as long as I can without a fill. I know everyone is different but my doc said he has patients loose 100 with the band alone and no fill. Good luck on your continued loss!

I think CarolinaGirl didn't have any fills and I believe I've seen a few others post that they don't have a fill so it's definitely not uncommon. Like I said, I think I'm just one of the lucky ones and I'm soooo ok with that!

No, my doc doesn't do that so it wasn't an option. All I have is a 10.5cc band. CarolinaGirl has the plication with the band though.

I had lapband with plication on Aug 14. I have lost 55 lbs since the surgery. I have not had a fill and don't plan on getting one unless its absolutely necessary. My doc says that a lot of people who have plication do not need to get fills. I go next week to the doctor and I don't plan on getting a fill. I have been in the green zone since almost the beginning. Good luck!

I don't have a plication. I also have 10.5cc band and feel enough restriction not to need a fill. I'm down 22 lbs since 12/21 and feel satisfied after 1 cup of food.< /p>

      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...

      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?
