3 Months Post Op 3 Fills No Weight Loss Please Help

[Anglkrys2 24]

I agree with your post. I felt like I was very educated about the lap band process. But' date=' I did NOT understand that it was going to take 4 to 6 months to get to restriction. My doctor is VERY conservative and will only fill every 6 weeks. I had surgery on April 9th (he put nothing in the band during surgery, which I was unaware of); my first fill was on June 6th (he only put in 3 ccs) and I have NO restriction and the will power is fading FAST. I did join a gym and I am giving it the ole' college try. I feel like I am doing all of this on my own and will be glad when this band starts to do its part! WHEW[/quote']

Your dates are the same as mine and my dr sound the same as urs!! I'm in the same boat!

Good morning everyone. Thank you so much for your post and response all of them were really helpful. It feels good to know that there are others out there that have felt or are feeling the same way I do. I have uped my work out and really been doing a pretty good job with my food ( I think) and am not giving up. I will continue to keep it reall with you all and my self and look forward to one day being a success story like you all.

Thank you so much for asking that question! I had my surgery on June 20th 2012. I like you dont feel any restriction. I was feeling like a faliure as well. I paid for my surgery,and it was not easy to save all that money. I will have to pay for each fill that I recieve. I will get my first fill on July 24th 2012. I am hoping that I see some weight loss very soon. Thanks
