Need advice

I will have to say that I am so disapointed in the lap band! I really thought that this was going to help me and so far it is not. I got banded Aug 26 and got my first fill and second fill in oct. My first fill was I believe 6cc and it did nothing. I went back and the nurse practioner was aprehensive about filling me more so she only have me 1.5cc So far I am not noticing much of anything. There are a few foods that I feel like I cant eat cause they make me choke but other then that I can still eat too much! I thought this band was going to make me feel full, I thought I was going to only be able to eat a few bites. My surgeon tells me to measure my food and eat less and if I had to damn will power to do that i wouldnt have gotten the band in the first place. I am so bummed. No weight loss nothing. I just dont wanna live like this anymore. Needed to vent thanks!

Keep your chin up, it does get better just keep going back for fills....Part of the reason they take it slow is to give you some time to adjust. You will know it when you have the right amount of fill that's for sure. I had my last fill a week ago and prior to that I could eat anything....NOW, I am full after just half of a chicken wing and less than a tablespoon of potatoes. It makes a big difference.

Hang in there and keep going for fills! This is a hard time. Don't give up, vent all you want. Restriction is coming. It took me 4 fills to have a good amount of restriction and to loose some weight. It's a hard time and we are sooo ready to see results! They will come! Trust the process and keep on going in for FILLS!
