I was banded 11/27/07and have only lost 10 lbs total!! however, i did just get my second fill and now feel restriction, I was able to eat almost anything without problem, but now, no. so I am hopeful that now i will be ablee to start losing. The Dr. was not too upset as he said the normal amoutn to lose is 1-2 lbs per month so i am not behind, but i want it GONE! Keep your chin up and be positive.
