Oh Fran! Thank you! Your words were inspirational!!! (Made me laugh a few times too!) I will concentrate on the: changing your eating habits, getting more exercise and staying hydrated!! Three things I need to work on anyway!!! Thank you!

I Just can't say THANK YOU enough to EVERYONE who has commented! I am very inpatient, and I really thought the band wasn't working. Does anyone know, when you get your first fill, will you eat less from it? Less hungry?

Thank you both! I know I am eating more than I should, but I am very hungry...ALL THE TIME! Patience is a virtue, I know.... My Dr. is 2 hours away and can only see patients for fills, once a week. Thank you fro your encouraging responses...it's means a lot!

I was banded December 2nd, 2010. I have not lost a single pound in 3 weeks! I am so discouraged! I am hungry all the time and feel like this was a waste of my time and money! I have my fisrt fill on January 18th....I am hoping this will help me eat less, like the band is suppose to do. Maybe I should have had gastric bypass Any suggestions on why no weight loss?
