Hi Everyone. I'm 5 weeks post band and just had my 3rd fill so I am now up to 5mls. Does anyone know what the average sweet spot is? I know it varies for everyone but I'd quite like to know what the average total fill is for most banders. Thank you

All over the map. Everyone is different and there is at least one successful bander here who has a zero fill. Mine is up to 7.9 right now but I'm going for another 0.1 soon. I've had eight fills over a year and a half. Creeping to green. In my experience green may last a few months and then an adjustment is needed. Good luck.

Agree with @JustWatchMe. A fill level can be great for a bit, and then change. Even over a couple of days. What is your band total size? Most of what I lost was lost at 3.0 in a 10.0 band.

In any case, work your band hard this first year. Results are less spectacular after one year, so try and get most of your weight off in the first 12 months.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
