I had my surgery in April of 2006. I had my gallbladder out in October of 2006, and a hysterectomy in March of 2007. In that time I lost 86lbs. I have not lost any weight since November of 2007. I have been complaining to my doctor since that time. He just kept giving me fills. I usually feel the restriction for about 2-3 weeks then I lose it. I also told my doctor this. He responded with joining a support group (thats why I'm on this site-by the way its been very helpful reading about all of you-THANKS) My doctor also said to go to a nutrictionist-which I did. Still no weight loss and NO restriction. I can eat a whole sandwhich ,2-3 slices of pizza, I can eat all day long, like before the surgery, I've already gained 10lbs. back. I have an appointment with my Doctor on April 4th. He is going to pull my fills out (I have 3.8 in a 4CC band) to see how much is in there and then he said we will take it from there. But I have to admit I am terrified!! Has anyone lost their restriction? Talk to me please! Is this as good as it gets for me-Am I done with the band-I am still about 100lbs over weight.:biggrin::confused::crying::confused:

There are alot of threads about the wait for the "perfect fill" How did it go with the DR? Did you have over 3cc in the band? Maybe you need more.

I know you don't want to hear this but just because you CAN eat 2-3 slices of pizza doesn't mean you should. Some of this is on you. That being said the hysterectomy might have something to do with all this. Hormones (or lack of) do weird things to our body.

Stick too it. Kick up the exercise or try something totally different. Hot yoga? Interval training?

Good luck.
