I was banded on 12/30/2009 and have only lost 26lbs. I started excersizing, drink well over 64 oz. of water per day, and eat small amounts but can not loose weight. I have great restriction for 2 weeks after a fill, then I am able to eat like normal again. I am coming up on the 6 month mark and am really getting frustrated. I eat the same thing that I have eaten in the past when I lost weight, but i am actually gaining now. Is anyone else having these issues, and what can I do to start loosing weight again. I have the 10cc Aps band, and have 7.3cc currently.

I was banded on 12/30/09, and have had 3 fills. I have a 10cc band. 1st fill, 3.4cc, 2nd fill 5cc, 3rd fill 5.8cc. I have restriction for a couple weeks, but not for an entire month. I'm getting kind of worried that I dont have far to go to be at my max fill. Is this normal? At about how many cc's should it take for me too feel real restriction without having to get more fills. My highest weight was 321 pre-op, I was 312 on the day of surgery, today i'm at 289. I feel im loosing very slow compared to other posts I read.

Thank you for the encouragement. Guess I'm just worrying that I will run out of fill room before I reach my "glory spot", but will go back to the doctor in a couple weeks for my 4th fill and hopefully that will be the last, at least for a while.
