Hi! I am 6 weeks post lap band surgery. Sort of had a difficult time as my boyfriend of 22 years died unexpectedly four days after the surgery. I just got tightened for the second time last Thursday and it is now Tuesday and I can eat just about anything I want. Have an appointment next Tuesday for another fill. Getting a little discouraged as I have paid $8,000.00 and didn't expect it to be a "quick fix" but didn't think I would have to diet like I have for 30 years. Anyway, I am hoping that after next Tuesday things will improve.

Have a nice day.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Ladeday.

As far as the fills, it often takes a few to start getting good restriction. It depends on how much fill your doctor gives you, and how your body responds to the band. Please don't get discouraged.
