My surgery was on June 15, since then I have had only one fill (aug 9-1.5 ccs). My second is schedule for oct 15....I am feeling very little restriction! As I am reading, it seems people are getting fills every 2-3 weeks, I had to wait 8! I have been doing ok with weight loss but it is by my will power, not the band...Any suggestions on speeding these fills up? I'm feeling very discuraged and see myself slipping back into my old habbits...:biggrin:

CAPPY, I was banded June 15, 2009. I have only had one fill and do not feel very restricted. I too have been having difficultly with eating too much and the psyo of overeating! I re-joined weight watchers and have found this to be very helpful!!! It gives me guidelines and I feel with the band I am able to stick to it. I am going thourgh a rough spot these past few weeks but I'm still going to the meetings. Of course, I don't tell them I have been banded....lol!

Randiedwards - I too am getting banded on the 15 (woo hoo!) I just finished up on day two...had a harder time too. By biggest problem was a headache...I took some advil and tried to keep busy..that seemed to help. Let's just take it one day at a time! Keep in touch! Sandi

Wow! I'm a lifetime member of WW (currently 100 lbs above goal) and also love the program. I was approved to have surgery for June 15 and the day I was approved, I went to weight watchers to get a handle on my habits. I have lost 10 lbs! It works for me also... I was planning to do both with the band. I am curious about the points adjustment your doctor gave you? I was also hesitant to mention it at the meetings...you just helped me decide! Keep doing both - it will work!!!

I just found this site - It's great! I am really looking forward to having a place I can go to with questions and/or support. I am a little nervous now that things have been approved and I have a date set (cold feet). I have been reading about post op and got a little freaked out about the restrictions (no pills...no fibery food...etc.)

I'm new and a little lost getting around this site. I want to join the June Journey 2009 social group but not sure how...I can view the list of members but don't see how to join. My surgery date if June 15... Thanks for the help!!

I'm scheduled for June 15...getting a little nervous! Doing a little second guessing..maybe cold feet?
