Thanks Rainbow Days For The Encouragement. I Hope After My 2nd Fill That I Will Notice A Difference. That Will Be May 25th. I Have To Have It Done In The Hospital Because My Port Is In A Funny Position, So He Fills It Under A Florascope. I Guess I'll Have To Be Better At What I Eat And Excerise More. I Have Rheumatoid Arthritis And Need My Knee Replace So It It Hard To Do. I Want To Take Off Some Lbs. Before They Work On My Knee. Good Luck To Everyone!

Hi Rainbow Days, Your story sounds alot like mine. I was banded 1/9/07. Have had a fill in March and to date have only lost 5 lbs. I don't get the feeling of full. I have had a few things get stuck. I notice that happens when I don't pay attention (like eating and talking with people). I'm having another fill on May 25th. Hope it helps. It is very disappointing and I always feel people are wondering why I'm not losing weight. I know I still can eat to much. Any help out there?

Hi everyone, I've just found this site. It looks to be very informative and supportive. I had lapband on Jan. 9, 2007. So far, I have been disappointed. I have never felt full, and have been to the Dr. He tried to fill my port, but it has turned. He thought he got a little in, but I have felt no different. Now I have to wait until March and have it filled under X-ray. I've tried to get it filled sooner, because I have not lost any weight since before my surgery. I can eat anything, and for me that is not good. Has anyone else had this experience. I feel like the people around me are waiting for the weight loss and wondering what is going on, and frankly so am I.
