My doctor said sometimes all it takes is a few drops to make all the difference....... I'm almost a year out from surgery and haven't had near the success I would have liked...Why??? because I was too embarrassed to go to the doctor over and over to get my fill's correct. Don't do what I did. I finally have good restriction now... but it took me months and months.... (I had never had enough put in)

My suggestion is to keep going back till you get it just right!

Best of luck!

is there anyone who ever just got 1 fill and that was it?

[rhondalou117 1]

There are people who have never needed a fill, just having the band was enough.

im jealous of those people who never need fills.. lol

i was at my sweet spot but had to get completely unfilled due to surgery..

i got unfilled july 30 and am still trying to et back to that sweet spot .. i see my surgeon next week.. hoping it will work this time..

but yes the fill process can sometimes be tricky:cursing:... but youll eventually get there... :crying:

and dont be embarrassed:redface: about going in again.. your surgeon will just be able to see your determination... and thats something he should be proud of...

good luck:cool:

I would schedule another fill as soon as possible. Also, how much have you lost since 3 cc's was too tight. It might be ok for you by now.

The sweet spot is elusive and I am amazed at how small the gap between no restriction and to much can be.
