Hello Everyone

 

For years I have been strugling with my weight, I have tried every diet and pillS known to menkind,so when i heard about the lapband i was exited I reseached it and made the desicion to have it done.

I had my procedure on january 20th 2009. at first everything was great not too much pain and the weight started to come off, then i just stop loosing weight i called my Dr. and was schedule fo a fill, I had my first fill on april 24,2009 and i was so excited that i was going to start loosing weight but it just not happening I don't know why, I'm watching what I eat and I'm exersing not as much as I should but Im trying.

 

When I read the success stories of some of the member makes me feel like a looser, like im not trying hard enough, I feel like I let my self and my family down :thumbup:

Im questioning my decision on having the procedure done.

 

Can it be possible that the Procedure work for some people and not on others?

Im going through the same thing, I am even excercising! But very little weight loss. I don't understand. But I'm not giving up, I just need to find what works!

Hi, Rosa0120

I was where you are right now. Don't let this get you down? Just take it one day at a time. Some some simple things to see if it helps:

- don't eat or drink 1/2 hour before or after meals

- eat from a saucer

- try to get 15-20 minutes of exercise daily

I questioned if I made the wrong decision with getting the surgery. But then I had to remember that the "Band" is not the magic tool to losing weight, just an assistant agent. These are some of the changes I made that assisted with my weight loss. I was banded in June '08 and I had a steady weight loss after the changes.

Stay positive and everything will work out!!

Rosa1020,

Forgot to tell you to thoroughly chew your food. Before I was banded, I was in a size 22/24, today I am in a 14/16 and still working.

Good Luck!!

If I am reading correctly, you had the surgery in January and your first fill in April. Is that correct? I ask because what you are going through is normal. Most people don't feel restriction on the first fill. It takes a few fills before restriction which leads to weight loss. From what I understand, once you get to your sweet spot the weightloss is a little faster. It's easy to get discouraged, but you have to keep your head up and keep on trying. It will be a struggle, but it's worth it to get to a healthier you.

Good Luck

Cheryl
