I was banded Sept 28, 2010. I lost 6lbs on the 1 week pre-op diet. I've only lost 11lbs since then. Can not get a fill for a few more weeks. I was wondering if anyone has noticed that you are losing weight differently with the band than with other diets. Example: when I did the Atkins diet a few years back I lost about 30 pounds and nearly all of the loss was in my stomach. The 17lbs I've lost so far seems to have all been in my legs and butt, hardly any in my stomach. Seems weird.
