Hi: I am new to this forum, but was banded last year,07/23/2008. I have lost only 36 pounds. I lost weight before the surgery, (55lbs.)so that makes a total of 86lbs. altogether. I have had 4 fills and am up to 2.3cc I am having a hard time keeping things down.I feel I should be losing faster.

If you are having a hard time keeping things down, you might be too tight or have a small slip, which a complete unfill will usually correct. Have you had your doctor do a fill under flouroscopy to make sure everything is ok with your band?

Yes, I walk every day and go to curves 3 times a week. Sometimes I eat things I,m not suppose to. You are doing great! Keep up the good work.lala123

No I haven't had a flouroscopy with a fill. Never heard of it. I think I just need to eat slower and take smaller bites. Thanks, lala123
