Hello, I am 15 weeks post surgery. I am starting to get really frustrated. I am not feeling very little to no restriction. My husband has even said to me that he is not seeing a difference in how much I eat. I have had several fills and I believe I have 9ccs in my 11cc band. I am just wondering if anyone out there has been through the same thing? I have only lost 12 pounds and now I am stuck..... I losse 3 pounds then within a couple days I gain it right back. I just want to CRY!What is wrong with me why am I not feeling restricted. Is it possible that my first 4 cc fill did not go into the port? I am going to call the doctor tomorrow and let them know that I am frustrated and ask if I can come in early for my next appointment.....

THANK YOU so much for your reply. I feel so much better knowing that I am not the only one that has this problem. Know knowing that you had the same issue and now you are finally feeling restriction makes me feel so much more hopeful. I did feel like a failure too. I have not been to one of the support groups because I was kind of embarrassed to go in there and say "Hi my name is ______ and I am not losing anything" I am very proud of the 12 pounds that I have lost because I have some new found energy. Although it might be coming from the Multivitamin that I take every day I am going to keep telling myself it is from the weight loss. It just just a little pick me up that I think about when I am feeling down. I can not wait to get to my "Sweet Spot"! Once again thank you so much!

Thank you for your reply. I have made it a point of cutting my food intake back on my own. I might be eating about 2 1/2 of food but that is way less than I did pre surgery. The hungry feeling is not coming in-between meals as much as it use to but is still does. Maybe my problem is that I need to talk to a nutritionist. Maybe I need just a little extra help with what I am eating. Hmmmmm That is another good thing to talk to the "Fill Lady" about at my next appointment. Thank you SO much!

Thank you so much for you help. I do burp a lot more since I had my band put in. I also believe there is longer periods of time between me getting hungry. I am going to start a food journal today so that I can take it to my next appointment with me. I did not even think about my band not working. I have an appointment here in a few days and I will be sure to ask the "Fill Lady" about it. But, being I am burping and not as hungry in between meals I believe it must be doing something. RIGHT? Thank you so very much!
