FryeMama 0 Posted August 16, 2012 I had my last fill at the beginning of the year. I still haven't hit my goal and seem to be struggling. What do I do if I can no longer get fills and utilize this tool for my weight loss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TKW 501 Posted August 16, 2012 Make it work with what you got I guess. I mean obviously you eat a lot less, exercise more??? .1cc can make all the difference in the world tho once you are close to your "zone". My band is about half full, I don't forsee any further fills in my near future. I went 14 months between my last fill. Funny how different it is for each of us.

Toddy 758 Posted August 16, 2012 How much have you got in your band? I've read on here that everybody reaches restriction at different levels of fill. I've not heard of anyone being completely full; if that was the case, seems you wouldn't be able to eat at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted August 16, 2012 If you're nearing the fill limit of your band, I'd ask yourself some questions: -Are you expecting the band to make you feel stuffed full? -Are you expecting the band to restrict how much you eat? -Are you expecting the band to limit the types of food you eat? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then you're expecting something out of the band it's not meant to do. If you're striving for any of these things you could easily end up with an over-filled band and risk a slip because of it. The band is supposed to make you feel satisfied (or not hungry) on less food for longer periods of time. Nothing more. If you're eating healthy and not expecting things out of the band it's not meant to do, then I would talk to your surgeon and see what your options are. Best wishes. 1 Kime-lou reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
