I was banded on 06-17-09. I lost 30lbs on the pre-op diet, and NOTHING since the surgery. I have been keeping a journal of the things that I eat and I workout. I am beyond pissed. I am seriously thinking about having it removed. I am going to give it a yr, but until then. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem may be? I have asked my provider to check it but he insist that nothing is wrong wih the band nd there is no need to check it. HELP!!!!:tt1:

Yes, I have had 5 fills. I currently have 11cc in my band.

I was banded in June too. My band was pre-filled with 3cc. I have now had 3 fills all together bringing me to a total of 9cc, and all I have lost including the weight i lost on pre op is 25lbs. I walk 30 min on the treadmill and still nothing. My doctor doesn't help because he tells me "walking don't count". Oh and did i mention my first band malfunction so i had to get a second one. 2 surgeries 2 bands same day! With me so far? I am wondering is my band in the right place or what? Should I push for a placement check or not?
