OIC108

One thing that has helped me, in the past, is to put rubberbands on my water bottle. I start with 5 on the top and as i drink a bottle I move one to the bottom. Once all five are on the bottom I know that I have gotten in all of my water. :w00t:

My doctor was also able to fix mine while she was in there poking around. :tt2:

I have been exercising, I just think that I need another fill.

Hello all, I was banded 7/2/08 and since then I have had 2 - 2cc fills. My weightloss is not what I would like it to be 6 months in so I was wondering how many fills have other people had? Along with that, how much have you lost?? Just looking for some reassurance.

I live on Long Island so this is perfect. I would love to come especially since it is so close to home.

I've lost a 2 year old. Thanks this makes me a little less discouraged about my sssslllloooowwww weight loss. Especially since the bulk of it was during my pre-op diet.

Zillyanne, I know how you are feeling. I went/am going through the same thing. I was banded on 7/2 and soon after that was how I felt, in fact that was my big fear prior to the surgery. I feel like it is getting better but I'm sure it will take a while before I'm 100%. If you need to talk about it I'm here just message me.

patunia, try this link it should give you directions on how to add the ticker. Hope it works. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f5/ticker-tutorial-pictures-41782/

I'm so glad I found this post this is exactly what is happening to me (no weight gain though thank goodness) it is good to hear that its normal not to feel the restriction at first.

Wow and without a fill. That is great. Keep up the good work. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to vegas.

Sorry 119 pounds lol.

George did I read that right - you were banded in January and have lost 118 pounds??? Way to go.
