Ok heres my question. Is it possible to loose without getting fills. The reason i ask is ive lost a fair amount of weight since my post up diet. I have never had a problem loosing, just keeping it off. Im pretty motivated to start exexrcising and getting in shape. The band so far has gave me a great start. I just dont see the point in getting fills if you are loosing and can keep loosing comfortably. I know its there if i need it and i know i will need it to keep the weight off, but not so much to take it off

No, as long as you are losing and not struggling with hunger, you do not need nor should you get a fill. But in my experience, once you lose so much the band will likely get looser (same concept as your belt getting looser as you lose)

Ok heres my question. Is it possible to loose without getting fills.

I'm only a week further along than you, and seeing the exact same thing. I see my surgeon on the 29th, and we'll determine then whether I need a fill.

Well here goes my thoughts, I am 4 months out with no fill and as long as I stick with solids I have restriction. I eat all my favorite foods just smaller amounts. I eat about a 1-1.5 cups of food per meal and I walk a lot! I can't imagine being filled to the point that I could only get soft stuff down.

I do think there are physological elements to this. At some point I will need a fill but I have lost 55 lbs in 4 months and I'm happy with that.

This was a question that I had...I have lost 21lbs in 2 weeks and can feel restrictions with soft foods so I know it will get better with solids....

Since I have to pay for my fills by myself I just think I will wait until im eating like a cow again...

I started out with 4ccs and I have my first fill in 2 weeks. I feel no restriction yet but I have been able to lose weight still by practicing self-discipline. That can only last for so long though. I definitely want my fill.
