My surgery date is set and I start my liquid diet in 10 days. I am worried that the band will be very effective at first and then slowly become less effective. I know that this problem may be solved with annual fills but how effective is the band long term?

I am at 19 months and my band is still effective. Many people get several fills in the first year to reach restriction. Talk to your surgeon about how he works. I have had 5 fills in 19 months.

I'm not there yet but I was told once I find my green zone I will need a fill every few months.

Good luck :)
