For those who have been banded over a year ago, how often, if ever do you need fills after a year? I'm about 6 months out from my surgery and curious.

Come on! Anyone? I am curious, because my fills are free for one year, and I wanted to know what to expect afterwards.

Thanks!

SQUEEEEK......IS ANYONE OUT THERE (tumble week blows by)........hello.......fill after a year

I was banded in october 2003 I have had 4 fills, the last one being in March of 2005. I don't think I will be needing another for a looong time.

Kyleighp,

How many cc's are you up to with your fills?

I've been banded twice, so I started over with fills. If everything goes well, you shouldn't need many after the first year. That being said, if you are still losing, you may need a tweak now and again, because as you lose, so does the 'give' in between the band and the stomach. It's all relative, but you'll do most of your fills within the first year.

I am at 2.8 cc, I think I have finally found the "sweet spot".

I had 3 fills thefirst year. Then was unfilled right after my one year makr and since have had 2 fills. No more fills for me. This 1.5 cc's is just right and Iam close to goal weight. I'm riding it out

I had a couple of fills around the first year. Then I didn't have another fill until this April after having my son and needing to still lose about 60 more pounds (part of it baby weight). This was at almost 3 years out. This fill is working like a charm, by the way!
