What has been your weight loss?

My surgeon does a combination of how hungry you are and your weightloss. At first, I wanted to go in for a fill every few weeks, even though I was losing a minimum of 10 pounds a month. My doctor said that it was important to not become "addicted" to getting fills, especially if the weight was coming off. At the time I didn't really understand what he could mean, but now I do and its a good point. Having said that, we did a barium swallow under flouro and he did see that my band was a little loose, so he gave me a small fill. But I think its really important to balance the two. You don't want to rely on fills for weight loss if you're steadily (and even rapidly) losing weight but you also don't want to feel like you are starving all day everyday (because who can really keep that up for an extended period of time?).
