My last fill put the total fluid in my band more than the capacity? She said they do stretch. BUT, I am feeling NO restriction. I am about to schedule another fill but will it do any good? My insurance does NOT cover fills anymore so this is out of pocket. HELP?!?

I have hit a wall. I can hardly eat anything but I am NOT losing any weight. I am actually GAINING. And I can't get my gut to go. I'm one of the few men that I have seen get this surgery. Mine was in 11-06. I have lost ~60#. Anybody have any ideas? Diet?

I was banded on November 23, 2006. In August of 2006, my wife bought me a motorcycle to commute with. As soon as healed up enough from the band procedure, I started riding again. That lasted 1 week. On December 15, 2006 my son's birthday, I was rearended while at a stop sign while on my motorcycle. I now have temporal lobe damage, bulging disk in my neck and back and I have had one surgery on my knee with more to come. I was so excited about getting the band and losing the weight. But now because of my physical condition since the accident, I can not excercise. I have only lost 40 lbs and seem to be stuck. My neurologist has put me on antidepressants. Due to the brain injury, I have severe mood swings and lash out over nothing. My memory is spuratic at best and my concentration is non existant. On top of it all, my libido is suffering severly. I just needed to vent. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'd like to find someone in the McKinney, TX. area to walk or workout with. Granted I can't do a lot, but I need some kind support to get through this. Thanks for listening.
