I have heard that over time you will more than likely lose Fluid in your band! What have your doctors said? I asked my nurse that does the fills and she said no. Just wondering if anyone has asked this question of their doctor!

I like your nurse's answer.

Trust your nurse. There are 'theories' that the Fluid can evaporate from the band, no scientific evidence to back it....

If your band leaks, you will loose fluid, but otherwise you will not loose fluid.

My doctor said no and I asked him directly. He did say that it can appear that we lose saline in the band since as time goes by, food seems to pass through the stoma with more ease. But that is because our pouches become more efficient at massaging the food through the band. Makes sense to me since the stomach is a muscle and to isolate a small part of the stomach could make that portion of the stomach a stronger more efficient machine?

My nurse said no too. I have heard that losing weight can cause you to need a fill but my nurse said no and my nutritionist said yes. So guess I will find out when i find out.

      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...
