I was banded November 9 and I've lost 40 pounds. I already had my first fill and I dont feel like it did anything. I am still able to eat the same amount. I am also falling off track since we have left over holiday foods. Should they be thrown away?! I also gained 3 pounds and i feel like im not helping myself. Anyone feeling the same?

I have been feeling the same way. Holiday foods got me a bit off track too, but I'm regrouping and starting this new year right. Hope things work out for you. :)

thanks I am glad i'm not the only one. How many fills did it take you to finally feel the right amount of restriction? I currently have 3.8 cc in my band and i feel the same as I did after surgery. I had 2.8 already in my band from surgery.

I have 7cc's in my 14 cc band right now. That's a total of 5 fills. I'm not sure if I've found that sweet spot just yet though. We just need to follow the rules and eventually we'll get there. Good luck! :)

Just a tip I have been using. When I make my dinner at night, I make sure I have my proper portions and less than one cup of food. I then pack up any leftovers and put them in the fridge. Stops me from reaching for seconds.

Give it away or throw it away for sure! I have found, I just can't have the stuff in the house. I live alone, so what others want isn't an issue. I too endulged over the holidays but as of 1/1 I am back on track. Did cardio yesterday for the first time in a while. A new year, a new me. Good luck!

I was banded on 11/8 and also gained 3 lbs over the holiday. Threw out all the leftovers (cookies-mydownfall) yesterday and back on track. I need to start exercising but have been sick. Hope to start on Saturday.

      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.
