thank you so much for the encouragement... I had my surgery on 12/28 and I have lost nothing.. I initially lost weight, but slowly put out all back because I am just hungry all the time.. My last fill is finally offering some restriction.. very little though..

I am so discouraged... Gained another 4 lbs this month.. So I am back to my weight on the day of my surgery... Just disgusted and disappointed in myself.. I just want to cry... What a waste of time and insurance company money third had been... I am gonna take a break from adjustments for a minutes...

At my last fill I gained 4 pounds.... :-( ... I am up to 7cc and only feel restriction in the morning.. This week I really starved myself just decaf coffee and 1 meal a day... Lost those 4 pounds, but I know I can't keep that up... Going back to the gym starting Monday.. Hope that helps out... I have failed at every weight loss attempt and I really can't let this one fail too...

Yes.. $1000 is what he bills my insurance.. Since he is put of network my insurance only pays $525.. He accepts that a full payment, so I only pay the my $25 Co-pay...

Makes perfect sense to me.. I am going through the same thing.. Hoping this next fill does the trick...

Just found this app.. Had the surgery on 12/28, so I am almost a January bandster.. I am down 23 lbs, but 18 is from the pre-op diet. So on these 12 Weeks, I have only lost 5 lbs... Until reading the posts,I really felt that I had failed at yet another weight loss attempt.. I go next week for another fill. I am currently at 5.5 cc with no restriction. Hopefully, the third time will be a charm.. Thank you all for sharing your stories and encouraging me..

I really feel like I am getting ripped off.. My surgery was $22,000 and I have to pay $1000 for each fill.. Wow....

Is anyone in NJ? My doc is charging $1000 for a fill and my insurance only covers $525... I need someplace that is cheaper.

Please add me.. Shonda225
