Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 - Hi Bruce I have the Swedish AGLB and I have 5ml in at the moment. Your weight loss has been terrific, as cranky as I get with myself I always feel supported and inspired by people on this list.

It is up to you and your surgeon/GP to reach your optimum fill level. You can only do this by close consultation with each other, discussing what is satisfying for you, and what your objectives are. By this I mean if it is too easy/tempting, and you are not losing the weight you want, then more fill needs to be injected into the resevoir. If it is too much, and you have reflux, or a big loss of appetite, then maybe you need something withdrawn from your resovoir. Obviously with 12ml, there is a lot of " play " with your fill requirements with the " Sweedish " band, so therefore keep in touch with your doc, as you are in charge. Hope this helps you Angie.
