I've lost NO weight.

Okay, okay...so I know all about "bandster hell"...but this is so frustrating! I was banded June 30th, and have had NO restriction at all. I feel like I am eating normally and probably much more than I should be. I'm starting to freak out!! My first fill is tomorrow, but I'm so embarrassed that I haven't lost any weight...

Advice? Words of wisdom?

Don't be embarrassed! What you are going through is normal all the way to the frustrated part. The time from banding to 1st fill is a healing time... not a weight loss time!

You are on target! You rock that fill out!

Hugs,

Relax! We've all been in your shoes! Most docs don't expect a loss yet, mine expected a gain at first. You have no restriction and chances are it could take a while. It will happen! Be patient and continue making good choices. Follow the "rules". It will come off!

Good luck!
