hi I'm 22 post op and I'm eating soluds already, my problem is that I feel like I'm gaining the weight back, I haven't notice a drastic change. my one week post of I had to be taken out on the fills that had been placed on my band because I was having to stuck episodes, so now I can eat everything I want and don't rlfeel reatricted. I went for a fill yeaterday and I can still eat as much as I want and not feel full...I have also noticed that i get a lot of sweet cravings and when I eat I notice that i'm eating way too fast but haven't had an episode of food getting stuck..I don't know what to do, or is my lap band not working?

Hi there. This is the time that you need patience and lots of work with your dr. I learned from reading these forums that weight gain after band surgery is normal! If your band isn't properly adjusted, then it's not dimming your appetite yet. I gained weight for the first couple of months after surgery, then I stopped gaining and maintained, and finally after about 5 months of getting fills (and a couple of unfills) every 3-4 weeks I finally found a comfortable spot where I was losing weight consistently. Good luck on your journey and do NOT be discouraged. It takes some time and work to get the band in the right spot. But for me, that flexibility and personalization was one of the reasons I chose the band.
