Hi Tabithan nice to meet you, my surgery was done at Swedish Medical Center.

Drewslou did you lose most of your weight the first few months or has it been a struggle. I feel like I am struggling to lose weight some of it is my own fault I know but it is hard to be good when you are hungy.

My weight loss has been strange. I was down 45 pounds by July 4th and then we discovered I had a leak in my tubing and I didn't have that replaced until November (my choice). Since I had my port/tubing replaced I have lost about 40 pounds (I put some back on while waiting for surgery, I had NO restriction). I haven't lost ANY weight in about 4 weeks now. My excercise has increased tremendously lately and I think my body is just in shock. I have dropped a size though and have gone from a tight 22 to a 14.

When were you banded Rhonda? How many fills have you had?

I was banded on Feb. 20, 2007 my first fill isnt until April 9, 2007 and right now I am just trying to be responsible with my eating. I am not really experiencing the full felling I would like to feel or at least hope to feel with some adjustments. I am just trying really hard to lose a few more lbs before my first adjustment but it isnt easy since I am still having to treat this whole thing as a diet right now and not a new health eating style. I sure hope it gets easier as time goes by. How long do I have to wait between fills if the first one isnt quite enough?
