Hi everyone. I am new here and i was banded 12-17-10 and to date I have only lost 40 pounds. Please don' t get me wrong I am very thankful for those pounds but am wondering if I am losing fast enough. I received a fill that actually worked in May 2011 and have lost about 10 pounds since then but really slow. I don need just a tad of a fill but my port is soooo deep that it is hard to find it las time after an hour I said forget it. I am planning to go back and try it again. Just wondering if this is normal.. and looking to make friends for support . Thanks for reading!

Hi, thanks for writing. I am sure you will be fine... I seem to be the exception to the rule with most of this but I am still losing. I want to lose 103 more pounds.....we shall see. Are you exercising???? I was doing great at that until work started back....but I have recommitted myself to it. The depth is just wierd and can't be changed without surgery... I will just deal with it. Good Luck! Teresa:0

I did have 3-4 week visits with my doctor but because I was losing weight (on my own) he did not fill. It was only when my own weight loss slowed down and I realized that I could eat alot that I received my good fill. I have been back to the doctor since then and he is happy with my weight loss...just trying to find out what is normal......I know they say 1-2 pounds but does that really hold true for everyone?? Thanks for responding... I will go back soon for a little fill.....According to the dr. i require more of a fill than most . The depth of my port cant be changed without surgery so I will just have to grin and bear it! Thanks again.
