Had my surgery on August 5th, lost about 20 pounds with diet before and 2 weeks after surgery. Since then I have maintained but thats it. I can eat anything I want and how much. I dont get it. I have had 2 adjustments and still haven't started losing. Is it more mind then anything? What makes the band loosen up, is it if I eat to much or swallow to much to fast? The only thing this has done for me is get rid of heart burn. I am thankful for that but damn I was hoping to be 40lbs lighter by now.
