Im only down 24 pounds.:biggrin: I had surgery March 25, 2009 the only time I loose wait is after a fill and then Im right back to where I started Anyone else in the same boat with me? Im trying to attribute it to the fact that I started at 211 pounds but Im still felling kinda down:bored:

Im only 35 pounds down since March 25th:thumbdown: Ok I guees its ok, but not what I expected

I had my surgery in March, I don;t know whats going on I have the CONSTANT urge to burp

I can't deal? I have been stuck before but was always able to get it back up by a PB ot the old finger down the throat routine well I took an aleve yesterday and I feel like it may be stuck but I have no pain and I cant still eat IM JUST BURBING 24/7!! I almost feel like if I could get one big burp it would be better. Could my poet have slipped?

when their surgery was and how much wieght they have lost (please dont include wieght loss pre-surgery from liquid diet) I was banded 3/25 and have lost only 17 pounds:unsure: I just had my first fill last week and still not feeling much restriction (only 2cc's) I would love to hear how everyone else is doing:redface:

I was banded 3/25 Lost 23-25 pounds as of last week, I just had a fill this past Monday and lost 7 pounds (in 5 days!!!) So Im officially at a 30 pound weight loss and I am thrilled!!!! :sad::thumbup:

It really is working. I was very discouraged in the beginning with my slow weight loss but I kept at it and coupld not be happier went from 211....to 190's...to 180's and as of today 179!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this has been since 3/25 of this year. just wanted to tell anyone trying to decide whether to get he band...DO IT, you will not regret it

it took 4 fills until I had pretty good restriction. I had only lost 25 pounds up until then, got my last fill and dropped 8 pounds in like a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my weight loss has been on the slow side. up until last week I had lost approximately 23 pounds since march 25th. WELL, I just had my fourth fill on Monday and as of today have lost 7 pounds (in five days) Im not complaining about the weight loss but Im worried about it being healthy

I had an ensure and was able to eat some salad and a piece of grilled chicken breast!! Thanks for the support

Thanks I think I may be a tad to tight, Im drinking a Protein shake now. feeling a bit weak:bored: My dr is not back in the office until tuesday:unsure:

I can pretty much eat everything but in small bites, like one bite of a meatball, a mouthful of pasta and thats it

Does anyone else have this? Somedays I can eat like I never had the band and then it fill like I have a lot of restriction?? It even changes throughout the day..Sometimes Breakfast goes down fine and then I have huge restriction at dinner. I can't even say it's becuase it is different types of food because sometimes even the sames food change. I hope this makes sense? I wanna go for a fill but Im not sure if i need one BTW I had sx 3/25/09 and am down 26 pounds:sad:

why does the effectiveness of a fill wear off after just a little while? I had my 3rd fill one week ago tomorrow, I had great restriction for the first time and was feeling excited but over the last couple of days I find myself being able to eat more what gives?

:tongue: sometimes it really bothers me not to be able and sit and eat like I used to. It is more difficult then I thought at times The only thing that makes me feel better is when I hop on the scale in the morning and see the numbers going down:thumbup:

your band may be very tight, call your dr and ask if there is saline in your band already
