I was banded February 18th 2013. I've managed to lose approximately 85 pounds. I have 6.5 cc in a 10cc band. I am currently able to eat normal size bites of food. I really do not chew thoroughly and I have never thrown up or had a pb or stuck episode. I am was wondering if I needed to get a fill because I think that being able to take a normal bite and swallow with no issues maybe I may not have enough restriction. FYI I had 7 cc in and they removed .25 because I was too tight. I'm not hungry in between meals but I do take normal bites...I can eat 5 oz of food but I choose to stay with 4oz. I consume 700 to 800 calories a day...to fill or not to fill that is my question thank you please remember to be kind.

Why fight success? IMO-You should only get a fill if you are feeling hungry between meals. You sound like you're in a great green zone and we're all envious.

I agree with TMF. You're not hungry between meals and have lost a lot of weight' date=' it sounds like Green Zone to me. Personally, I wouldn't risk getting too tight with another fill.[/quote']

Thank you all...I don't know what I would do without u....

      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.

      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! 😞
