where did my fill go?



Recommended Posts

I was doing just fine with my last fill (2.4) and now it seems to be completely gone:confused: . What happened to it? Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm curious about this one myself. I am super duper freaked out that I might have a leak or something because evidently, only part of my first fill was still in the band when I went back for my second fill. Lots of people on here told me not to worry too much though as it was probablly just the saline evaporating into the air that was leftover in my band from surgery.

At 2.4 though, it sounds like you've had a fill for a while and know for sure that there's no leak, so that's REALLY GOOD (lucky you!). I've heard a bunch of stuff on here about your stomach shrinking, TOM issues, dehydration, etc.. and all of that can have some effect on your restriction. Try to go back on really solid Proteins again and see how you do.. maybe you (like ME) are eating too many semi-solids and aren't getting the full effect of the fill. Good luck!~

Yep, it's curious.:)

I'm wondering what's up myself - I went from a supposed 2.8+ fill (where I feel literally, very little restriction compared to what I had before) that was measured in mid-to-late January to finding out last week that I have less than 1.75 or so now!

Losing more than 1cc in less than 6 wks seems VERY curious.

I don't know if it's a leak, osmosis or the common "sweating out" scenario - but there you go.

Happy Band Journeys to All...
