I am getting my first fill in two weeks. does it really make a difference? i am frusterated after weeks of trying on my own post surgery. I almost back to eating like i used to and i am getting nervous!!

Aww thanks Mimi!! Amibrooke it makes ALL the difference... An unfilled band is like a power tool you haven't plugged in yet - you'll notice such a difference!

I've lost 28, sadly over the last 2 months I have only lost 3 of that. I need a fill but my free 90 days of fills are over and I just don't have the money right now to shell out for it. I know it would help since I can eat alot, but I just can't right now

I know where your coming from. I was banded in Mexico and just found a fill Dr. here in birmingham, alabama that finally wants to do my fill for less than $300 and don't require me to travel. I was banded June 25, 2009 and haven't had a fill. I've also gained the little weight that I lost in the beinning. My first fill will be next thursday for $175 and $100 there on . Stay encourage, something will work out. :thumbup:Try and see if you can do your fill for a cheaper price in your area.

Yeah, its the drive just as much as the money too..its NOT in a easy place and I have to pay tolls each way to get there...grrrrr....

I almost 6 months out as I was banded on March 18th. I have lost a total of 71lbs so far and hadnt realized how much I lost until I tried on a size L dress I got from Target. Their clothes have always been so tight to me. I always told my husband that the clothes there ran small... Well to my surprise this morning the dress fits just right. I know that sometimes we get discouraged and dont lose what we want to lose, but I want to remind everyone that even 5lbs lost is making us healthier.

Everyone keep up the good work! We can and will succeed at our weightloss goals whether its a year from now or three. Congratulations once again to everyone for making a life changing decision.

I am new to Lap Band Talk. I had my surgery March 10, 2009. To date I have lost 41lbs. I am one of the slow losers, but considering I have PCOS I feel pretty good about that loss. Next month will make 6 months so if I can lose 7 more lbs by then I will be exactly 1/2 way to goal at the 1/2 way mark. I look forward to chatting with others who had their surger yaround the same time.

Hi Sarah,

Welcome to LandBand Talk.

I'm there with you...........lost 41lbs also. Been at this plateau for about 3 months......it has been frustrating. On the brighter side, I have finally got restriction, I'm not sure if I have reached my sweet spot, but at least the scale has started to move downward. Just made it to onderland :biggrin:.

Cheers,

Vicky

Hello Everyone,

It's been quite a while since I have posted or have even been on this site. I have had a bit of a slump, I lost my job and was a little depressed so I lost focus. I even stopped visiting this site, I finally realize what a support it is. Thankfully, I haven't gained any weight, but I haven't been eating the right things and I haven't been exercising either. Reading all these posts have given me the motivation to get back on track.

Thanks for the encouragement.
