I was banded on August 12. I only lost 8 lbs. I don't have any restrictions. I am scheduled for a fill on September 16. Is this normal? I keep reading that pple are losing so much weight and I feel discourage d. Any advice?

Great job!

Thank you guys! I jist felt better by writing it out! My husband does not understand "the band" thing and I have nobady to talk to. I will start getting my fills again ...I just feel like I forgot how to eat....I will re visit the nutritionist... thank you!

I was banded August 2013 1 month after the surgery I was pregnant.my lap band was un field at that time. I just finished breastfeeding and the baby is 4 months old.I had 3 fills so far and was up to 4 cc for over a month with little restriction. All of the sudden I ended up in the er. My bad out of nowhere was so tight that I was choking and throwing up my own saliva. Dr at the er took out my whole fluid. Now I am over a year and a half later.....back at square one...its so depressing. My next fill is scheduled oct. 30...most likely 1 cc....I feel fat and even though I have my band I still dont see myself skinny. Any positive thoughts?

It will take forever to fill me back up again. :-( no....mom of 4 does not panic. I was like that for 3 days thinking it will go away. I also did not wanna go to the er knowing that he will take everything out...but at the end I jad to go. It turned out as my kids were sick from everything I caught something from them. He said when a person has a cold the stomach is somethimes inflamed and the band gets tighter. Also when you are dehydrated, which I was things also happen in your stomach. I was both. I just feel lost. When I first had my surgery I was into it. Now I cant even get a protein shake in my day. This is a place to went. Thank you for listening.

I was banded August 13th 2013 I got pregnant three weeks later I just had my baby three months ago while I was pregnant I had the fluid out.I now have the fluid in and I'm lost I'm not as excited with the band as I was the first three weeks I don't know how to eat I keep being stuck I'm not losing weight I'm under a lot of stress with three small kids. I don't know what to do and how to start losing weight. I feel lost.

I used the weights on my first appointment and second. After that no....I was short 13lbs so I bought ankle weights and put one in my bra and the other one between my legs as a pad....sick I know but I got approved! Ps ots very hard to walk!
