First Fill !

[pastor o 73]

As I have previously mentioned I have had one fill on August 15th & I don't what happened but I don't feel as full & have been at the same weight plateau since and done nothing different and not loss an ounce ! My family has said for me to go get The Gastric Bypass now & I was just banded 6-4-2013 !!!

Any answers or help ? I just want to continue losing!

Get the gastric bypass "now"?!! I just had my second fill and that's the only time I really felt ANY restriction, aside from right after surgery. How much are you currently eating?

It's hard to see/understand it now...being you're only 3 months out from surgery, but my experience is that it took a LONG time to get to a level of adjustment to where my band was working correctly for me. Some find that magic spot sooner, and some it takes a while....quite a while! But once you do, it really works!! Hang in there, do your best at dieting until you reach that level/green zone. Then....enjoy your new life. Best wishes...and NEVER, ever give up!

You really need to give the band a chance to work. Forcing yourself on another surgery suggests to me you aren't ready to make that committment to losing weight you just want the fat to fall off. The lapband is a tool not a magical fat reducer overnught. Sometimes it takes 6 months to a year to drop alot of weight. Did you get the lapband because your fam I ly told you to? If not then trust the band to work. Another surgery so soon will not only affect your body adversly but also give you false hope. Give the band a chance. Exercise diet cirrectly and keep coming back to hear what the veterans say. Since 8-8-13 til today I have lost inly 15 lbs. Sure I'm discouraged but have my 1st fill in 3 weeks. Don't get a bypass just because someone else says to.

Be safe...stay strong...God Bless

If you decide it won't work it probably won't cuz you won't be as committed. Curious, are you journaling? If not you should be. I have a friend who is having problems and she started journaling and realized she wasn't counting everything. My Vitamins are 50 calories and I still count them

I agree that you need to give it time. I was banded on 8/9/13 and just got my first fill today. I have lost in the last month a total of 25lb, but I had to have a lot of self control because at times I felt so hungry, but realized it was just in my head and I really didn't need to eat rite then. When you are use to eating a lot as we did before surgery it's gonna be hard to change those habits, so just be strong, take it one day at a time and you will start to lose.
