Your amazing. I was banded 11/19/2010 and only down 20 lbs. I wish you the best ib reaching your 100 lbs. I had the same goal but now I realized if I et down under 200 lbs I will be happy. Keep usposted on how your doing.

I was banded in November of 2010. I have been filled every month since my 2nd follow up visit. I didn't have as much sucess as most. I have stuggled. I believe this last fill I finally found my "sweet spot" . Best wishes. Everybody body is different.

I am diabetic and had surgery outpatient. I was in at 8am and home by noon. I had no probelms. If insurance won't approve I sugest finding another surgeon since you already approved.

I am diabetic and my surgery was out patient. I went in at &am and was home by noon. I had no problems.

I been in the same boat. I am 4 months post op and lost only 20 lbs. I am just happy to be losing and not gaining. I have cut back on insulin but still have to take, Good luck with your journey.

<BR>I AM SO SORRY <IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://cdn.lapbandtalk.com/public/style_emoticons/%3C#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif"> I WAS JUST BANDED ON THE 25TH OF FEB.... KEEP ME POSTED ON WHAT YOUR DOCTOR SAYS. I HOPE EVERYTHING IS OK. I THINK YOU WILL START LOSING SOON. MY DOCTOR WONT EVEN GIVE ME ONE FILL TILL 9 WEEKS AND MY BAND IS COMPLETELY EMPTY! WHAT TYPES OF FOOD ARE YOU EATING AND DO YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE WITH IT GOING DOWN?<BR>

You are on a strict diet but when I had surgury I was still hungry post op. I have had two feels and still don't feel much restiction. My regular doctor added welbutrin and it has helped out and I have dropped from 251 to 247 since Monday. I

Thanks everyone for the response. I was feeling a little alone and wondering if I was doing something wrong. I go Thursday for my 3rd fill and will keep you posted. Hopefully I will feel restricted this time and finally lose a few pounds. The worst feeling is when family ask you how much weight you lost, I thinks it's worst then the old speech "you need to lose weight , I only telling you for your own good." I don't want to be this size. I have doing jazzercise for 5 years, gyms, and dieting since I was 9 .

I was just had surgury around same time and have had two fills only losing 10 lbs. Last month I gained 2lbs after 1st fill. I am glad to see thier is other peoplle who can relate to the slow weight lose. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

I was banded on November 18th and have same problem. I have been real disappointed. I was depressed when going for 2nd fill cause I gained 2 lbs. I am tring to stay hopeful for 3rd fill on Feb 24th. I am seeing more people write that the 3rd fill is when you see it start working so we will have to be patient a little longer.
