I guess it just depends on the person. I think I lost 26lbs in the first "liquid" month. The first month after my fill, I lost 13lbs. The second month I lost 13.4lbs, 12.6lb, and 11lbs the last 2 months. I have only received one fill. Dr K does says the goal is to lose appr. 8 lbs a month and that is why he hasn't tightened mine again. I think I may have gone too tight on the first fill but it has since become my "sweet spot." It takes a while to get use to it. I would suggest that you bring in a bottle of really cold water. It was hard for me to tell when the water got hung up on the band because the water they had was room temperature. I can feel really cold water better and maybe that it why I might have been too tight at first. I hope this helps. Good luck with you fill!! My surgery was only 6 months ago and there is still some trial and error involved.

Hey ladies! Nice to see and meet you all at the BBQ yesterday! I have never done one of these before so we will see how it goes! What is this Labor Day contest?
