Yeah, I know how you all feel, even though I'm newly banded, I lost some weight however, I feel like I'm doing this all on my own, I have not felt any restriction, and I had only one fill so far. I also have friends and family suggesting to me that I should have had gastric bypass instead, because you lose the weight faster. Its frustrating I know, but hang in there you guys, it will work, just gotta be patient and have faith, cause I'm not giving up, I know its going to take time. Good luck everyone, and dont give up!
