amount of fill to keep weight maintained

slimmy120 · November 15, 2009

I put on over a stone after maintaining for over 2 years, went and got a fill, Doctor said I had .7 and now he has put .8 intotal. Forgot to ask if fills evaporate. For long time banisters do you get re toped up yearly or when?

when I feel I need to - havent had any in about 9 months, still feel pretty snug - in fact I have been thinking about getting a little out becuase whilst I maintain effortlessly, with all the exercise I do, I tend to eat junk to get the calories in - I cannot eat quite enough healthy food but need the energy from a bit of this or that that is easy to eat. I should be eating a couple of pieces of fruit instead, but I just cant cope with too much of it.

I'd probably plan on a once a year visit, that's what my doc advises.

Well this time will ensure make a yearly visit even if fill not needed just to make certain band ok, but you are a few years out and doing great,so you are a great example. For some reason all my friends who have had it done had their band slip, so had this initial terror of not wanting to get refill after initially hitting sweat spot, even though had stacked on weight as was terrified would end up too tight and then have band slip,or band cut into my stomache.
