I was banded May 2013, and NO weight loss at all. 7 lbs in my first 2 months but nothing since. I've had complications and fluid removed twice. Endoscopy ruled out slippage of the band. My Dr keeps telling me it's a slow process. I'm very discouraged and regret having it done all together. Monthly weigh in is a source of stress for me. I'm not motivated to log my meals or exercise. Its harder everyday to track my meals or plan ahead, when I do it's a good day. My restriction depends on what I eat. I only have good days when I stick to soft foods, chicken is never a good experience. I have a 10cc band, at 4 1/4 cc fill now. My next appt. is tomorrow, ???? praying this month is a good one. Struggling to stay positive.
