I was banded 11/9/15. I had lost 25 lbs presurg and then between fills 1 and 2, I gained back 6. Fill 2 was three days ago and I am down 7. Bad bad decisions over the holidays made me pick that stupid 6 lbs back up. I was so frustrated about gaining weight and thinking my band wasn't working that I just ate and ate. And ate the wrong food. Restriction does help but this weight gain was my fault and my fault alone. Now that I have finally conquered the "blame", I am feeling much more confident about this journey. Hopefully this feeling lasts. Good luck everyone.
