tmarie 0 Posted September 11, 2007 :clap2: Well, its been 2 years since my last fill - My last one was a 2.3 cc's I was getting concerned because I felt I didn't have the restriction I had before and I was worried thaT i HAD A leak. I went to see my doc and he said I still had 2.3cc's in my band:confused:. then why don't I have the same restriction I had before? My weight had said the same so why would my stomach strench? Well I had him put 2.8 in Let see if that works.:hungry: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(The residual fat-pad around your stomach) Tie a balloon around the bacon and inflate it. (The Lap-band) "Melt" a little of the bacon away underneath that balloon. (Lose weight) That is exactly what happens when the residual fat-pad melts and loosens up the band. If a person loses even a few ounces underneath the band, it's going to get loose and need a fill.
