    I don?t understand my band!

    When did you get banded? I got banded on 3/3/11 and with my last fill I feel the same way.
  5. At the Dr. for my 2nd fill, gained 1 lb. Feel so disappointed!!!

    Once your lapband is full

    I didn't know they could over fill your band. My band is a realize 11cc's and I'm at 5cc's now I still have no restriction. I go in for my second fill tomorrow and I hope this one works for me.
  7. I am somewhat in your shoes. I was banded 3/3/11 and only down 16lbs. I had my first fill (5cc's) on April 14, 2011 which did nothing for me. I go in for my second fill tomorrow. Hopefully this one will work for me.

  8. 10 weeks post op and only down 16 lbs. =(

  9. Going in for my 2nd fill this Thursday and I haven't lost any weight in over a month. Getting really frustrated and disappointed.

    eating more then i should

    I'm barely going in for my 2nd fill this Thursday, I am always STARVING!!! No matter what time of the day or night it is. I hope this fill helps me. I feel like a complete failure.

    Lapband tightness - is this what I'm feeling?

    How long did it take you to lose all your weight?

    Stitch popping out

    I had the same problem. I clipped it with some nail clippers and I still felt a little stubble there and i just kept messing with it (like turning it back and forth) and eventually it just fell. My port incision would itch alot. I just kept putting lotion on it and finally went away.

    where is your port?

    My port is on my left side maybe 2 inches left of my belly button. You'll have no problem. Unless ( your boobies are to your waist) LOL... JK

    259 LBS That's 77 lbs down since I started!

    You look awesome.
  17. That's how I feel. I've been banded 2 months already and only down 16 lbs. Kinda bummed out about it but I know I would've never been able to lose that on my own.

    Look for help in California

    Dr. Sergey Lyass in Glendale did mine and he is great. Lyassmed.com
  22. Gained 3lbs. WTH? I'm supposed to be losing weight not gaining!! So DEPRESSED!!!

  23. I wouldn't be much help. I was just banded 3/3/11 and have lost 16 lbs. I went in for my first fill last Thursday, he filled 5cc's and I still have no restriciton. Hopefully this one works for you.

  24. Went in for my first fill yesterday, he filled 5 cc's. I was surprised that he filled it that much. Not complaining at all, hopefully I have some restriction.

  25. You do not look like a size 14. You look amazing.
