Though I recently had to have a complete unfill, due to complications, I have managed to lose and yesterday I purchased size 16 shorts!!!! I've been in size 18 for a year, but with the unfill, I lost 8lb in the last 5 weeks....so excited!!!

Nope I lost more this year after geting unfilled than when I was filled. And that's not counting the extra I lost from some meds I was on. So don't panic when unfilled it can be a blessing in disguise. I think people learn to eat better and more healthy so they are in a different mind set about food.

I knew you had lost more unfilled, so wasn't worried. I had restriction without a fill, figured I would just eat the right foods and manage portion size. My perspective on food has changed a lot, just as you suggested....still very fickle, band-wise, though.

Isn't it great to fit into smaller clothes! I think it may be better then seeing the scale move. Congrats and keep it up!
