I am interested in knowing about your weight loss when you went on solid food.

My weight is not coming off!

After two months of nagging my doctor, I finally had my first fill of 2.5cc. I have never felt and restriction and this fill has not changed things.

I am disappointed that I can consume such a large quantity of food. I had hoped that this band was going to be my forced discipline so I could only eat 4 to 6 ounces. I can fit a full plate of solid food in my stomach!

After surgery, I lost 16 pounds from the liquid diet. That has been about it! I was banded January 5, '09

Please share with me how it worked for you. Did you loose when you went on solids? Did you have to wait until you had a certain amount of fill before you began loosing? I have a 10cc band. I fear my upper pouch is jsut too damn big and fear that the fill isn't going to make the difference.

Thanks for your time to write to me.
