Do we ever get to a point where we dont need any more fills?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Yes, once you reach the Green Zone you won't for awhile. The same goes for reaching your goal weight. Some people are able to go years without needing more.

However, the Fluid does evaporate slowly over time, so you could go along a year without needing one then finding yourself needing a small one again.

I think they are few and farther between. I have only had 2 this year... in March and in October. Compared to my first year where I had 4 or 5.

In addition to the evaporation Mis spoke of remember as you lose weight the fat around the stomach is reducing and sometimes thats cause for a fill... its very individual as with so many medical devices.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
