I got my band on July 24th and did fairly well for a few months. Then I found I could eat just about anything. I have now had two fills and will be going for another in early January. One thing about these posts that is so good is that you find you are not alone in this thing and that what is happening, has happens to other folks too. I have not given up hope, so don't you give up hope either. I may not get restriction with the next fill either, but I sure hope so. The thing to remember is, this is a journey with hills and valleys. There might be more hills now, but the valleys are ahead, for sure.
