Yesterday I met with my new Dr. He is with Sibley Hospital. I still havent lost weight from Dec 2010. It is very frustrating.. I started a new job and changed insurances... so I hope this one works out. He is having me do a GI exam first before beginning fills. I am hoping this will work for me. I have 6ccs currently and feel ZERO restrictions. Sigh

I am a December 2010 Bandster.. I have NOT LOST ANY WEIGHT?? IN fact, I gained 5 lbs. I have had 2 fills and NOTHING.. My eating is NOT restricted. I have not gagged or vomited. I can eat a buffet or anything... I am feeling depressed. I work out 3-4 days per week and still Nothing. I need help with the eating.. I need restricting.. why is this band not working?????

Hello.. I understand as well. I had the surgery in December 2010 and have not lost any weight. There is no "band" restriction to my eating. I am so depressed. My last weigh in .. I gained 5 lbs. I have had 2 fills.. Doesnt seem to be working.. HELP!

My banding is Friay.. I am nervous as well. But I came this far, I have to continue and see it through. I am so hungry i could cry. The shakes dont work anymore, the soups, nothing.. arrrrgh! my stomach is growling at work. I want just a bag of 100 calorie chips.. Yikes!

Being Banded by him on Friday! He has good bedsidemanner.. so far.

Thank u! I will keep u posted! For dinner having a cup of chicken broth (yuck), a protein shake followed by a sugarfree popcicle. I am miserable but maintaining! Its the cravings that r the worst for me! Trying to stay encouraged! Oh and I have my bottle of water! Sigh!

Thank you soooo much! I find that the protein shakes leave my stomach growling. I wish u the best with the surgery! I have been heavy my entire life. I can't wait till I can have my first real meal again. I know it will be smaller but still filled with flavor! Sigh!

Hello everyone. My surgery is Friday morning.. I have been on a liquid fast. Is it ok to eat chicken noodle Soup? I have been eating one container per day (including today) Additionally I had a bag of Popchips today.. otherwise.. just Protein Shakes and Water. Am I doomed??? Has anyone done this?
