To fill or not to fill???



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Well, I guess it is my turn to start a new thread. I am really wondering about fills and whether I should have another one or not. I would appreciate your opinions and thoughts.

I am still losing well (better than I thought only 3 lbs to go to hit my Christmas goal- I am averaging around 2.5 lbs per week). But it is a lot of work to get there. I am scheduled for a fill on November 29th and since I have to fly down to get it, it is kind of important that I do it when I can.

But... I have had no problems - no pb's no getting stuck. Yep I have restriction but that's it. And I am going to my in-laws for 2 weeks at Christmas and I don't want to be so tight that it is crazy.

So... all of this to say... should I get a fill or wait until after Christmas. I am sure like many of you that I am terrified of not getting it done and then gaining weight (do we ever loose that fear?).

I would love your thoughts out there.

Thanks,

Dawn

My opinion is that it is a no brainer. If you are averaging 2.5 lbs a week, you definitely do NOT need a fill...it working wonderfully for you....so why mess with it?

What do you mean by saying "I have restriction but that is it"?? You say it like that is a bad thing. That is what is supposed to happen....you should be able to be at the sweet spot (ie. lose 1-2 lbs per week) and NOT experience sliming, pbs, pain, stuck feeling etc....THAT IS the goal.

So personally, I think you'd be nutso to mess with where you're at!!!!

I don't mince words sometimes, eh?! LOL

Thanks for not mincing words Yoda!!! I think I just needed to hear it. Of course this weekend I was up 2 lbs (seems my cycle is lose 3 or 4 during the week and then gain 1 or 2 on the weekend.)

I think you guys are right and I will wait it out a bit more/

Thanks a lot.

I agree with what has already been said Delta, averaging 2.5 lbs a week is awesome, i would hold of on getting a fill for awile yet.

Your weight loss is awesome, i would love to have that much already. You are doing great.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
