Hi magic,

From op to first fill I lost a stone. Had my first fill 6 weeks from op, since fill I'm losing about 1 lb a week but it's hard work. I'm in need of my second fill which i plan to get in the next two weeks (shall be about ten weeks post op).

I was told it usually takes between two and three fills to reach the sweet spot. x

well pre-op i lost 14lbs (op 29th jan) then 5lb from op to 3 weeks post op then it stopped first fill (10th march) then first fill to 2nd fill (6th april) i lost 5lb since second fill have lost around another 7lb so far. am awaiting dietician phone consult end of this month but i think maybe a small 0.5ml fill and i may well be at my sweet spot have got quite good restriction now xx

It was for me! What you have to remember is that everyone is different.

I lost nothing on my pre op and thirty something pounds prior to my first fill. By one year post band I only had a stone and a half to lose, since then I have lost that but only now am I at my sweet spot.

Just the reduction in portions that the band enforces helped me lose most of my weight. I only really needed to have a much tighter band to help shift the last bit of weight.
