Hi, my name is Rochelle I'm 28 from northern NY. I've been lurking for a while now. Still trying to decide if the LB is for me. I have 3 boys, the youngest was born in Sept. I'm now at my highest weight ever...around 240:faint: I've never maintained my weight. I started dieting when I was 13, and since then I have been either losing or gaining weight. I'm really good at losing the weight (I've lost 60 or 70 lbs. about 5 times) I just can't keep it off. As soon I reach my goal I immediately begin to gain it back. I'm afraid to put in the effort and hard work just to gain it all back again. Anyway, I really enjoy this forum and everybody's helpful advice and just wanted to say Hi!:wave:

Hi Rochelle! Welcome to LBT.

Thanks Chickie, you look great!

A question about fills...after you find your "sweet spot" are you all set and don't have to be filled again?

Sometime people get away with not having to adjust their fill after finding the "sweet spot" other's don't. I haven't had an adjustment in over a year. It really just depends on the individual.

Some people never find their sweet spot either... And to be honest, I think I am one of them. I could always eat more than most people here report eating. I could, and can eat anywhere up to 1.5 cups, depending on what I am eating. A lot of my weight loss has been more down to my food and exercise choices than the band, and restriction.
