very slow weight loss

Hi everyone,

It has been 5 months since I was banded. I have had 3 fills now. I think Im around 6.5cc in my 9 cc band. I felt restriction when I got the 3rd fill but that wore off after a month. I was 231 on my surgery date ( size 18) and now Im 207 ( size 14). I really expected the weight loss to come a little quicker. I work out hard but now I can see that Im eating too much. Is this normal? Is it normal to have such a slow weight loss?

I was banded 5 months ago in 2 two days. I have lost 40 pounds, but I also started out quite a bit heavier than you. Fill #4 was the magic one for me! And, I just had that one a couple of weeks ago. You are doing good.....it is supposed to be slow :-)
