I was just wondering if experienced bandsters could give some advice? I just had my second fill on Tuesday, and I think I may be at my sweet spot! Here's my question- should I be planning on the good restriction going away and probably needing to get another fill, or is it possible that I could be done, and I have found the holy land so soon!? Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated!!

It is possible you have found the sweet spot right away. That wasn't my experience at all, but we all differ in the way we adjust to the band. I didn't find the truly sweet spot until right before my one year bandiversarry. I had 5 small fills over the first 8 months, then a smaller unfill a month later. Finally at 11 month I had must a tad (.2 cc) put in and that seems to be my sweet spot total of 2.6 cc.

Now I am almost a year and half out of surgery. I am thankfully still losing, slowly but surely. I'm glad that my losing didn't stop at one year out of surgery. That is what is so good about lapband. Still adjustable.

Congratulations on your successes!

You may be at your sweet spot for now, but it probably won't last. As we lose weight, we lose fat around our stomach. The band then loosens, and you need another fill.

Try to find Wendall Edwards post, about how the band works, fills and unfills. It's a sticky I believe under fills.

thats very true- i kinda forgot about that! well, im just happy to be at a sweet spot for now anyways! thanks ladies!
