Not going the way I thought it would...

I called my doctor's office today. I have actually gained weight over the past few months rather than lost! I hve now had 3 fills and will go back in next week for another. The nurse (from the doctor's office) keeps telling me to eat less and exercise more. I do agree that I should take heed to her advice, but why did my insurance company pay them tens of thousands of dollars if I am doing ALL of the work. Again, I do respect and value exercise and healthy eating, but the band should STILL be doing something. I am a little disappointed in this new band. So far Inamed's Lap-Band is winning over REALIZE's band. I guess only time will tell. :blush:

Do you have any restriction? Have you kept a journal of what you have been eating? Is your dr not willing to give you another fill? I know I have 5ccs in my 10cc band and I couldn't eat more than 3/4 cup of food at any given time. That is why I was asking about the restriction?? Do you walk? Walking is one of the best forms of exercise. I know with having the proper restriction and walking has allowed me to be able to lose 66 lbs in 4 months...you also have to have a positive mindset YOU CAN DO IT!!! I hope this helps you!!

I am going in for another fill next week. i have minimal restriction and mostly when I drink too fast or too much at one time. My dr is very conservative with the fills, but promised he would be more aggressive this time. No I am not doing most of the "good" things that I should be doing. I am exercising a little and I drink tons of water, but I REALLY need to up the exercise and probably watch my food intake. Congratulations on your weight loss! 66 lbs is AWSOME in four months! I must admit I am a little jealous :wub: but keep up the good work! Hopefully this next fill will put me at the proper restriction! Thanks for your encouragement!
