Recently banded, will it be worth it?

By TJONES76

I was recently banded July 26th

Was so excited

Especially after seeing other people's success pictures

However since July I have lost and gained weight

I understand it doesn't happen over night however I thought I would be one of the people that lost the 30 or 40 pounds before my first fill

I don't want to be a disappointment to myself or my doctor when I go and get my first fill and realize that I gained weight.

Will this get better after my fill?

Was this worth the surgery?

    Your band must be properly adjusted to work it's magic. You may need more than one fill to reach that zone.

    average loss with the band is 1-2 lbs a week it will be slow but if you follow the rules you will be successful....

    I am pre-band but from what I've been reading your body in that first month is healing up and many people don't have restriction until the first fill. The tool is placed but needs to be adjusted for you. Don't worry, you're on your way!
