I had the band surgery in October 2008. My surgeon is Dr. Fass. December 10th, I had my first fill for 1.5cc. Since then I have had fills in January for 1cc and two fills in February for 2cc. I have had no restriction at all. I could eat anything. My total is now 4.5cc and I feel some restriction when eating bread for the first time. I have only lost 23 pounds (7 since surgery) and have been totally frustrated. My doctor says that he has had patients who lost nothing in the first year. I was afraid that I would be one of those people. I overheard a fellow patient talking about your website while sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's office. I've heard some reassuring things, however I sure would like to start losing weight soon. Any info would help!

Thanks to all. I guess I need some patience. LilMissDiva, OMG, you are the ultimate in patience. Keep up the good work. I know now that I must hang in there and work closely with my doctor. Everyone loses at a different rate. THANKS!!!:w00t:
