I am feeling frustrated and feeling like I will never lose the weight! I was Banded on June 27th, 1st fill on July 21st of 2 cc's and feel NO Restriction whatsoever! I feel like I could eat a house! I have only lost 5-7 lbs. I go for my 2nd fill next week. My questions are: 1) Are there other low BMI'ers that felt sort of hopeless or like the band was flawed or not working but it eventually kicked in and you lost the weight? 2) After a fill, do others experience huge brusing and the entrace point feeling kind of sticky like? I almost wonder if the solution leaked out or something.

Just want to let people know that I am now at 8 ccs, exercising and have great restriction. Although I have only lost 15lbs, I can see and feel the difference. For those that might read this, be sure to continue getting adjustments, watching your food and EXERCISE (this is key in the process).
