How Long?

How long do u need to keep getting fills for? I've had mine almost 5years now.

Think I'm needing another one. Is this normal?

Everyone is different. I have had mine three years I have only had two fills and havent had a fill in a year. It depends.

I have had small fills of 1cc to 2.5cc and lately just .5 and .25...I'm at 6cc but I specifically asked my surgeon to slowly fill me so my adjustments would be extended. I was banded December 21, 2010. I started at 274 and I'm down to 169. I chose this slow management, I surely could have gone faster. But my body has worked well with this route. My fat has melted and molded, need to work on small part of tummy. But overall, the fills were slower about once every three months. My surgeon really listens and also learns with me, he can tell if I need a fill or not through our conversations. It's been a good journey.

I am 2 + years out and went in Friday for my first fill in about 11 months.

I am over three years and have not had a fill in two years and just had one two weeks ago. To me if feels like its my first fill. My stomach has a lot of pain right after I eat by my band is not to tight. I'm hoping it's just my stomach getting use to the fill.
