I went for my 4th fill today but I didn't get one....I follow up every month. So I weighed 299 in April & I went today I weighed 285 a total of 14.5lbs loss. I felt like I needed a fill though...i eat right & go to the gym 4/week....has anyone been at this point?

Why did the doctor decide you didn't need one?

Can you go at least 4 hours between meals without hunger?

She said their expected weight loss was between 5-7lbs & I loss 14.5 In a month time. My water weight was low meaning I wasn't getting in enough water so she told me to increase my intake to 5 20oz per day

14.5 in a month's time is nothing to scoff at. If you're losing 3lbs and change a week, that's spot on progression. You're probably in your green zone, just keep doing what you're doing. It's working.

I think you should only be getting fills if you're super hungry between meals. You're losing weight great! No worries. If hunger starts to creep in there after your getting the correct fluids, then you can talk to them again. You're doing so great!

Oh dear, if you're losing 14 lbs a month, that's very rapid weight loss. I bet a pound of fat just melted right off of you while I wrote this message!

Please remember this is a marathon and not a sprint. I know you wanted a fill, but if you're losing weight like that, you are well on your way!

And remember, haters gonna hate and bandsters, they gonna lose weight!!!

I agree with everyone. You are doing great, but you do need to drink at least 64 ounces a day. Get as much or more in and it will help you feel full too! Don't get fills just to get fills. Let the band work for you. Keep it up!

Ok thanks everyone for the words of encouragement!!!

Great Job keep up the wonderful weight loss:-) 14lbs YOU ROCK MY BANTERS
