I got the band in Feb of 07 start weight 438 lbs I lost 88 lbs in 5 months. Then I hit the wall and did not get a fill when I needed one. My flew back up to 405 lbs. I did all that work and gained allot of it back in 6 months. The problem was I did not get a good first fill. In fact I NEVER felt the band the first time I got filled. I went back to the doctor and got a fill. ( 1 year later) This time it worked!!!! I never felt anything like it the first time. The weight is now coming off faster. I did hit a wall at 350 lbs, So I started working out and now it is coming off faster than before. I would like to get under 300 lbs.
