I am 3 months post op and i went through the same thing. I lost 27 pounds in 2 weeks then nothing. NOw im 50 pounds down. It will get a little better after your first fill. Im on my second fill and its getting better. Just hang in there.

Thanks dlk4k! I having been getting on this site that much lately, and I need to. I forgot how much supoort this site is.

I am stuck. I have not lost any weight. I lost 27 pound really fast after surgery (one week). Now i have only lost about ten punds since then (total 38 punds). I was banded on 12/29/10. Is this ok? I had my first fill on 2/4/11 (0.5CC). Im starting to wonder if this was enough. I get full a little faster but I still get hungry. How long in between do you have to wait to get another fill. I want to lose weight but I feel like im stuck. Or am I just rushing it and should take some time and see how this fill is for me? I NEED HELP.

I went to the weight loss center where I live and I felt really rushed. So I visted another Doctor and felt so much better walking out. Plus I didnt need all the test that the weight loss center wanted. After doing research on them I found out that they make you do all these test so they can bill your insurance, but you really do not need them if your BMI is greater then 40. I had Blue cross and they approved me with out the test. Plus after I told them I didnt want to go through it with them they still kept calling me. If I were you I would do my research. There are other doctors out there. I had mine done With Doctor K in Glendale and he is really good.

Congrats!!!!!!!. I remember the feeling of getting approved. Its the best.

I am going through the same thing. I lost 27 lbs really quick after surgery, and now im stuck. I hope it changes. I am goingon week 3. I eat cottage cheese for breakfast, soup for lunch, and chicken salad for dinner. I drink my shakes between my breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner. I hope I am eating right. My doctor really didnt give me a diet to follow. I have been getting all my information from here.

I dont know how much vitamins I should be taking. What Vitamins do you take? Which one helps with hair loss? Also how long after surgery can you start exercising??? Please HELP!!

I was banded on the 29 th and I went through the samething. It will get better the first two days were bad but today I woke up and I'm feeling so much better. Walking helped me out a lot.

I hope everyone is doing good! I am feeling a lot better. All the gas pain have gone away. I'm just a little sore where my port is. Can't wait to get off this liquid diet. Lol

I have the same pain. When I walk to starts to go away. Have you been walking a lot?

I know what you mean. So have you Ben hungry? I really haven't. In the morning I had a proten shake and right now I'm haven't a 1/2 a cup of jello. What about you?

I am finally on the other side. I was banded yesterday. I feeling pretty good right now just a sore. But walking around is helping out a lot with the gas pains. No meds just trying to stick out the pain. I hope everything got baned this week is doing good.

Good luck!!! I am also on my way to the hospital.

Thank you!! Good luck to you to.

I am so glad to hear that everyone is doing good after surgery and everything went well. I have mines tomorrow at noon I'm a little nervous. I cant wait to be in the other side.

Two more day until surgery. Im a little scared, but I know its for the best. Good luck to everyone. When you are feeling better come back and post to let us know how you are doing.

Thanks Patti and Bobbi!!!!! I cant wait to start my new life and start being healthy.

Hello everyone. I am scheduled for the 29th and my doctor doesnt have me on a pre-op diet. I am wondering if maybe i should start one that way I can get use to it. Good luck to everyone. My pre-op is on the 28th. Im scared and excited at the same time. I am scared that I wont wake up from the surgery and excited for the new me. I have never been thin (always the "BIG" girl). But I need to do this for my health.

Im Glad to hear you are feeling better and everything is ok. I am going to have surgery on the 29th next week. I hope everything goes ok. Im a little scared.

Good Luck!!!! I am scheduled for next wednesday.

I Just found out I am approved. I will be having surgery next week on the 29th hopefully. I am excited and scread at the same time. I am ready for the change. If anyone has any advice to give, that would be great!

I just submitted my paperwork to my insurance yesterday (BC/BS of CA). Hopefully they will approve it. I am kind of scared that I will be denied because I really don’t have a primary doctor and just went to any doctor to get them to refer me for WLS. Hopefully this will be enough. Does anyone have BC/BS of CA? If so, can you please tell me if they approved you fast, did they require a lot from your primary doctor?
