Thanks for the uplifting post! I've had 3 fills (I was banded Feb. 23, 2011) and I've only lost 23 pounds. I feel some restriction but I'm still able to eat large portions of food. I hope that I get there soon and your post gives me some motivation to stay postive!

Good luck to you! I'm glad to see that there is someone else experiencing the slow weight loss like I am. I will be banded for 4 months on June 23rd and I'm down 23 pounds. I started working out more the past few weeks and plan to keep it up. I know it takes time, and you have to be patient. But I'm ready to drop these pounds!
