Hello all, just wondering because I haven't thought of this question before and haven't really read anything on it....

What's the longest you've gone on one fill? As in, how many months, years did you go before you stopped losing decent, consistent weight and needed another fill? (It's been awhile since my last fill and not quite sure if I should get another)

I've had my band for 5 1/2 months, and just skipped a fill for the first time. I have 6.5 cc's in a 10 cc band, and feel adequate restriction at this point. With my physician, I'm up for a fill every 6 weeks. I'm thinking I may get a small (.25 or .5) fill next time, but if I'm still feeling like I do now, then I may not. I hope others post who have had the band for more than a year, or who have reached goal. I wonder if you ever need adjustments after reaching goal?

Well I'm between 30-40 lbs from my goal weight. I'm currently down about 95 lbs down right now. I once went 7 months without a fill...didn't lose for the first 5 months of that and then dropped like 20 lbs:D And that 7 months without a fill was only because I live up in north dakota and so that was winter lol, meaning I am 200miles from my doc and the roads suck. So who knows but I'm currently at 8cc in a 10cc band, at pretty good restriction and try telling my docs that they can do a .25 cc or .5 cc fill...ha! Yeah they are more bypass-ish people.

I had a fill at four weeks, which was way too early for me. I had to have a complete unfill and now it will be at least December for a tiny fill if any. That would be six months from surgery and five month from the first fill. Going slowwwwwly this time.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
