amount of fill to keep weight maintained



Recommended Posts

I put on over a stone after maintaining for over 2 years, went and got a fill, Doctor said I had .7 and now he has put .8 intotal. Forgot to ask if fills evaporate. For long time banisters do you get re toped up yearly or when?

when I feel I need to - havent had any in about 9 months, still feel pretty snug - in fact I have been thinking about getting a little out becuase whilst I maintain effortlessly, with all the exercise I do, I tend to eat junk to get the calories in - I cannot eat quite enough healthy food but need the energy from a bit of this or that that is easy to eat. I should be eating a couple of pieces of fruit instead, but I just cant cope with too much of it.

I'd probably plan on a once a year visit, that's what my doc advises.

Well this time will ensure make a yearly visit even if fill not needed just to make certain band ok, but you are a few years out and doing great,so you are a great example. For some reason all my friends who have had it done had their band slip, so had this initial terror of not wanting to get refill after initially hitting sweat spot, even though had stacked on weight as was terrified would end up too tight and then have band slip,or band cut into my stomache.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
