I was banded on July 3rd, '08. Have lost about 17lbs. including preop. I've had 2 fills and last week I had gained 2 lbs. I am very frustrated also. Sometimes I feel like I paid a whole lot of $$$'s for a diet! I know the band is "just a tool", but I don't feel any restriction. Sometimes I think my doc forgot to put it in (lol). The RN who does my fills says it sometimes takes 6 - 8 fills with my kind of band, so hopefully I'll get there eventually. Until then, I'll try to keep on dieting as usual.
hmmm 6 weeks
