I had my first fill about 4 wks ago and I haven't lost any weight since then? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I exercise more now than I used to and I eat smaller amounts? What could be wrong?:thumbup:

Could it be muscle mass gain or maybe not enough calories? Or maybe just a plateau... Hope the scale gets moving again soon!

I think I lost like just a few pounds when I got my first fill. There wasn't much restriction, so I was hungry all the time which led to some snacking. After my second fill I felt a little restriction. Right now I am too full and can barely drink, which has led to a 16 pound weight loss in 2 weeks. I am going to the doc tomorrow to have some liquid taken out.

You probably just need another fill. How many CC's are in your band? I have 7cc and it's too much, at my last fill I was 5.8cc, so I need to be somewhere in between there.

Hang in there.... keep the faith. The same thing happened to me. I had my first fill on May 26 and have lost no weight until today... I see a one pound loss. My next fill is one week from today. My weight loss is going very slowly.... but as long as it's going... I'll have to hang in there, too. Try not to get too discouraged. It will happen.

I have 3 cc filled so far. I don't feel much resistriction at all. I weighed myself this morning and actually found I finally lost 3 pounds! So maybe I need another fill and just be patient and stick in there.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
