I was banded 11/4/09, and although I really hate to hear that you all have been struggling, I feel better knowing that I am not the only one. I am happy to say that after my 2nd fill (3 weeks ago), I have lost 8 lbs! So total loss since surgery is 13 lbs. I was getting worried. I actually have an appointment tomorrow for another ajustment but I think I am going to hold off for now and see how things go. Hopefully this is that "sweet spot" everyone is talking about, I don't know. All I know is I was, like all of you, hoping to be further along by now....Good luck to you all :0)
