I'm starting to think that this band was a waste of money. I was Banded December 17 2012, it's now almost June and I have only lost 3lbs. What the hell am i doing wrong?

I'm moving to Denver and will be needing my 3rd fill in four weeks and was curious if there is anyone who can recommend a place that does fills in the Denver area?

Thank you everyone! I've started tracking calories and drinking more water, I haven't lost anything yet but I am going for another fill which will be my 5th fill probably about 8cc, lets hope it's green zone time!!!

I had my first fill exactly a week ago. I currently have 4.5cc, I have no restriction. I eat way to much, I'm always hungry & I'm not losing any weight. I work out 5 tomes a week, cardio and toning. I feel like I'm gaining and it's very discouraging. Any advice!? What's going on?

Thanks got my first fill with your recommendation!

Yes, I've spoke with them. More fills, more fills.... What happens when I'm at 8cc in a 10cc band and still not losing weight? Do you have a specific meal and diet plan your on?

I don't count calories.

I get at least 70g of protein. I take b12 & biotin for my hair loss.

I eat less than a cup of food.

Yeah, I've talked to them. I am following rules. It's driving me insane. I thought I would be under 200 by now.

I am now at 7cc on 10cc band I'm still not losing weight, gained 3lbs. I'm giving up.

What are you doing to lose that much? Any advice? I'm apart 5 months post op and I have lost nothing.

What hospital?

I had my first fill last week, I'm at 4.5cc. I'm not losing any weight, have no restriction, and I'm always hungry. I work out 5x/wk.Anyone else having this problem? What am I doing wrong? Help!!!!!!

So, I have tried several different liquid multi vitamins all of which make me gag because they taste so horrible. Does anyone have any recommendations on a decent liquid multi?

I just found a multi I can stand and goes down great! Flintstone Chews! Dissolves right in my mouth.

I don't feel like people should judge you for it, you are making one of the greatest choices of your life. If anything yell it out to the world!

I got banded today! After reading a lot of people's threads about post op pain from gas, I'm happy to say that I have very minimal pain, just a minor back ache and bloating. I do have to say that I'm glad I followed all the rules so that things continue to go smooth! Today is the first day of a brand new future body and life! So happy!! !

The first two days post-op I felt very minimal pain, but the pain got really bad my 3rd day post op where I couldn't even stand and just cried because my port area, under my ribs and mid back were hurting so bad. Today is now day 4, and I can still only get Water down. I tried eating Soup broth but after I felt so horrible. My back and shoulder felt as if I was being stabbed and my stomach felt as if it was just closing in on itself, mainly felt like my muscles were really tense. I'm assuming it was because I tried filling my stomach with soup and the gas was getting pushed around. Has this happened to anyone else? I've taken milk of magnesia, which helped get things going and also started taking gas x strips which are saving my life and I'm not having as much pain, but I can still fill the gas inside my stomach because it literally feels like the bubbles are moving around in there. Since my stomach has been empty when it growls if feels and sounds hollow inside. I can't wait till the gas goes away and takes all it's bloating with it!

Hope your surgery went well!

Of course!

What kind of soups are you eating?
