I had my 6th fill last Friday and am hopeful i have true restriction to the point of when i drink cold water i can feel it going through my esophagus. Also i can go 5-6 hrs without having hunger pain or growling in my tummy. Yeah finally after 9 months. I hope you get your restriction soon.

I am also 9 months out and have lost no weight after surgery i lost 45 before surgery so i only have 40 more to go.I go in for a fill on Friday I am at 6.5 I do feel some restrictions only when I eat to fast. Hang in there it will wprk Sent from my ALCATEL A564C using the BariatricPal App

I was happy to ready your time frame as I am in my 7th month and still have only lost 10 lbs as you have said your Dr was slow to give you fills so is mine. I find when I exercise I am staving and then eat to fast and sometimes get stuck. It really is a learning tool to use over a long period of time.

I was banded in march 2016 started out at 220 I have been stuck at 170 for some time just had 5 the fill I am also at 6.5 in my 10 cc band and finally feel a fullness and know when I overeat.

Thank you so much for answer the question as i am 3 monthes out and have 5cc in my ban with 3 fills and have only lost 10 lbs very discouraged until i ready the post from above. I go in for another fill on July 1st. I took my scales out of the house because they were making more depressed. Trying very hard to stick with the program. The only thing i feel is a tightness in my esophagus does any other banded person feel this?

Hi Jad, I had a lapband put in on March 20th,2016, This is great site. I started my journey last May at 220 lbs went in for surgery on March 20 and weighed in at 189,did not need to do a pre-opt diet as i had lost alot before. I am 2 months post opt at 169, so i am down 20lbs. Seem to be coming off really slow. I just keep telling myself to stick with the program and the weight will come off. Congrates on your weight loss.

Hi blm1* i am also going through the same thing i was banded 6 weeks ago and i have had 2 fills with a total of 4 cc in my 10 cc band i want to eat all the time. My Dr told me i was doing well i lost 13 lbs in the first 2 weeks and then nothing for this past month. my Dr told me to eat 3 meals per day 3 oz protein and 2 tbs veg and 1 tbs of fruit. if you are still hungry have a protein shake. My Dr said alot of her pt,s would gain a few pounds until they get there green spot. Just keep trying to stick to the plan and try not to beat yourself up to much. Tomm is another day this for life.
