My goal is 149 (upper limit for what is considered 'healthy' for my height). I think for most people, weightloss tends to slow as you get closer and closer to goal so there is no need to take any Fluid out of the band once you reach goal. In any case, you would never want to take all the Fluid out. When people have their bands removed or take all the fluid out, they will typically regain all the weight they had lost.

I know for me that I could easily increase my calories to stop losing weight if I wanted by introducing back some liquid calories that I enjoy (like wine!) or allowing myself to have some Snacks and treats that go down easy, but that I'm avoiding now because of the calories. One of the ladies in my support group who is at goal has a 'treat day' once a week where she allows herself to snack and have other treats she does not eat the rest of the week. She also exercises a lot so that is probably why she can do that without regaining.

My goal is 140. For my height I could go as low as 120 but I don't think that would look good on me. I am worried about regain so I want a little wiggle room but I guess I will know if that weight suits me when I get there. I have another 28 pounds to go to reach 140..:thumbup:

My goal was 150 at 5ft 10, and it was purely coincidental that that's about where weight loss petered out for me. Steady loss stopped at about 165 and it took me over a year to lose that lastn 15 - occasionally 17 or 18, lol. It just got slower and slower and eventually stopped.

So for me, I didnt change a thing - no unfill, no change in diet - although over time, I guess I eat a little more - and certainly I've continued to build on and increase my exercise. I still work out hard for an hour six times a week - running or bootcamp. It helps me stay rock steady weight wise no matter what I eat and drink.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
