I am new to this...so bear with me. I was banded June 25th. By the first of September I had about 40 pounds. Then I hit a brick wall. I have now lost 1 pound in five weeks. I am exercising, keeping a journal, and am very frustrated. I have been getting fills every two weeks. I have the 14 cc band. I have been filled to 9.5 and am still feeling no restriction. This sheer willpower crap sucks...if I had been good at willpower I wouldn't have had the LAP BAND. Does anyone else have the 14 cc band? I know we are all different but I would be interested in finding out if anyone else has had this experience.
