But I was wondering if anyone could help answer my question because I am feeling like a LOSSer I got the band 1/25 about 5 weeks ago , I feel I am doing OK with my diet and still drinking Protein power.. My problem is I have only lost 12 LBS but I know I have lost inches as well, I have not had a fill yet.. Can anyone share with me..Is this how it starts or will a fill make a difference ? Would love to hear your story Nan..

I also had pain in my shoulder that would come and go , I thought maybe they had my arm over my head during surgery and yes its painful I have been putting ice on my shoulder and pain meds it has been getting better but I had planed on talking to my Doctor .. I still do on it. Good Luck
