Sweet Spot

[NWMarc]

So I would like to get reply's to any of the following questions and comments. If you have leaned the answers from an authority then let me know that. Because all I have right now are opinions .... my opinions.

Is there one sweet spot for everyone? What is the definition of the sweet spot? Can you have the sweet spot and lose it?

So this is my knowledge and/or thoughts. PLEASE correct me were needed.

As you are progressing with your weight loss you will never hit the sweet spot until you have either acheived your goal weight or you have actually lost all of the fat around your stomach were the band is located. Then when either of those things happens you can start looking for that sweet spot. The definition of sweet spot I'm using is the level of fill needed to keep you at or below your goal weight.

I'm assuming that as you get a fill you get enough restriction to continue weight loss. As you lose weight the restriction is reduced by the reduction of fat btween the band and your stomach. (This is a total guess.) You feel the reduced restriction or notice your weight loss slowing or stoping. You get another fill. That process ontinues until you reach your goal. After you get to your goal then you search for this sweet spot to maintain yourself at your goal weight.

PLEASE correct if you know for a fact or feel free to voice your opinion on the topic of the infamous sweek spot.

Thank you,

Marc

Marc -

The sweet spot is the level of fill that provides you with optimal restriction to loose weight easily with the band. There is no magic number - everyone is different. Sometimes it comes down to 0.5cc or less additional restriction or unfill. I have a VG band and am currently at 6.2cc of restriction. This is good for me. My sister is at 1.8cc of fill and has lost 70lbs.
