Thanks for the support. I went to dr today and had lost 2.2, so that is a total of 9.7. He gave me another fill, so i have about 4cc now. I hope this gives me some restriction.

yes i am from hokes bluff. i had lost 2.2lbs and total is 9.7, slowly but surely. he gave me another fill and i have about 4cc now. maybe there will be some restriction now. he said to stick with what i was doing and it will start falling off with time. keep in touch.

I am in the same boat you are in, just about. I had my surgery on may 13 and no matter what i am trying i am not losing. 7.5lbs to date and i go back to the dr tomorrow hopefully for another fill. I am going to havwe to try something totally different in my diet? What do you eat? Throw any suggestions my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE, stay positive............

Hey Bandster gal, i was also banded on the 13th, you are doing wonderful, i am not. i have only lost 7.5lbs and getting very discouraged. what are you doing, diet, exercise, etc.... I need some good advice. i go back to the dr tomorrow, hopefully for my 2nd fill. any suggestions let me know. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have only lost 7.5 total, that is why i am so discouraged. He told me at my last visit that my body was just being stubborn. According to my scales i havent lost any since my last fill, i guess i will see tomorrow. I will keep you posted. Thanks for the SUPPORT.

Hey gone 4 ever, just checking in to see how you were doing? I am struggling, only lost 7.5 still and go for my 2nd fill tomorrow. Keep in touch.

Hey sunshine531, i had my my first fill on the 20th of june and had 2.4cc, i go tomorrow for another fill, hopefully. i have only lost 7.5lbs, i am getting very depressed, i still have no restriction but trying hard. any suggestions????? I feel like i have failed at this so far. And yes i used Dr. Black and had my surgery on the 13th of May. PLEASE keep in touch....

I am from the gadsden, al area. i was also banded on May 13, but i was banded by dr black in anniston. have had my 1st fill but no restrictions as of yet. I am a slow looser only lost 7.5lbs so far. Trying to stay positive, BUT IT IS HARD. Any suggestions!!!!!!!!

hi, i was laso banded on May 13, the water issue has been a problem from the start with me. They didn't tell me i could have water anytime after the surgery, they (dietician) told me to drink 2 tbsp every 15 minutes for the first week. Finally when i went back to the dr for post op visit i had only lost 6.4 lbs and he ask if i had been drinking my water. So i feel like i have already messed up. I went back for my 1st fill on the 20 of june and got 2.4cc, no restriction whatsoever and had only lost 1.1 lbs. Any suggestions, I need HELP!

I also was banded on May 13th, had my first fill on June 20th, 2.4cc. I have no restriction whatsoever. They just made me lie down and do a partial situp, he found the port, filled it and after i drank a couple of sips of water and that was it. I have only lost 7.5lbs total. I hope it gets better. What foods do you eat? Any suggestions?

Hey Gone 4 Ever, I went to the Dr today and had lost only 1.1lbs (better than gaining), total 7.5lbs. He put 2.4cc in my band today! Maybe now I will start to feel some restriction. Keep in touch, I totally need support. Keep up the good work.

Anyone else out there that was banded on May 13. Just wanting to know how it is going and how you are doing.

I was banded on May 13th by Dr Black. I go for my first fill on Friday the 20th. I have had no problems with him at all. I haven't been on the scales since my 1 week visit so I am nervous to see if I have lost any weight. At 1 week I had lost 6.4. But I know I need a fill because i am getting hungry between meals and wanting to eat more. Any suggestions send them my way. I am from Gadsden area and I dont really know any one that has been banded personally. Support Helps!!!!!!
