Hi, my name is dannielle, I had the lap banding done in sydney in july. I lost 7.5kg in the pre surgery diet. then lost another 5 kg post surgery but then when i started eating again i put some back on and am back to only an 11kg loss and I am stuck at that, i have been that way mid aug. ive had 3 fills so far. so dont be too stressed if you dont loose alot of weight inititally. the doctors have told me its actually normal to put on some weight during the liquid, puree and the start of the solid phase and also even not lose weight after your first few fills, its a matter of getting used to it all. everyone sounds like they are doing so well though.
