2 years, you did not say how many fills for a total in your band.

Second...have you ever had a Body Fat % done? BMI's are not very accurate and misleading. They are good for a gross measurement.

There is a running back for the NE Patriots, who is the same height as me, but weighs 10 lbs more! I would not call him fat or overweight. I'm not saying I'm an professional athlete, just saying BMI's can be decieveing.

3rd...I have been at a plateau for 3 months, loosing and gaining the same 3 lbs! Went to the Dr., weighed in and showed a 3 lb loss since my last visit..3 months prior.

After asking all the standard questions, we both agreed that I am in the Green Zone and clearly do not warrant another fill. But purely for the heck of it, he gave me a 1/2 cc fill just to see what happens.

That was tuesday. Today is saturday and I have lost 4-1/2 lbs! I must have been tetering on the ledge for 3 months, and that 1/2 cc pushed me over to where I'm falling. Not sure where I'm going to land. Like the Dr said, let's see what happens.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
