My surgeon told me that he will usually not fill if I am losing well (1-2lbs per week) AND if I'm not starving or feeling that I am working very hard not to eat. I am only a couple of weeks post-op so we'll have to see how I do, but that isn't the first time I've heard of this.

Mine will only fill if the weightloss has stopped. If you are losing 1lb a week he won't do it. I don't think everyone does it that way but I don't think it's completely atypical either

I have not had a problem with losing yet. I am only 7 weeks post op and have done well for myself. but i have slowed down to about 1-3 lbs per week. I have also just recently started to workout again. So hopeflly that willget meback to losing faster.

I have gone for two fills and both times they would not fill me. She says she doesn't want to do a fill if I am losing so fast on my own. After being disappointed about it, I came to realize that I am lucky I am losing so fast with no fills and am going to enjoy it while I can!!!! Although, I do have restriction without a fill so I do get full if I am in tune to my body. Now head hunger is a whole different thing!!!!

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
