Young and banded

Had mine March 25, so over 5 months and im stuck on 20lbs weight loss really discouraging.

Its nice to see all the March banded people share stories. I like reading them and comparing and making sure im keeping up with everyone. I was banded March 25, and im down 23 lbs. I expected a little bit of better results, but ill take what i get. Ive had one fill which was last week (and to be quite honest i dont remember how much was inserted). Im just kinda confused because i still have no trouble with carbonated drinks, or any kind of foods. Im still able to eat without getting full with concerns me. Havent had food stuck in me or anything. Sometimes i wonder if the band is really inside me or if it was all a dream.

Thanks guys this was a lot of help, im guessing i fell under the misconception of thinking that once you have a band you always feel full and you get full fast as well. Im excited to start getting my fills and get this thing on the road.

I was banded exactly one month ago today and a problem im having is im still hungry. I always read about how people are full after they eat a egg, or a few spoons of this or that and theyre are bloated and it feels like the food is stuck on their throat, my worry is i have yet to have the "im so full" feeling. I stop eating around 2-4 ounces (thats what i was told by doctor) because i know the effects of over eating, but i always thought i would be full by eating that much, but im never full off what i eat. Any suggestions, similar problems, tips, advice?

Not sure what im doing wrong, im doing my liquids and eating the right things, i just never feel full.

Techinically im not april or may, but i got banded 8 days ago and im 19 as well and its so exciting shedding this weight off. I look at the scale and i always think im being lied too because it wont stop going down. Youre making a great decision. I still have a feeling i might have done it too young, but the pros weigh out the con, and the more weight you lose the better you feel. Its hard juggling all the appointments with school and stuff but very worth it !

Im not 2 years post up, but maybe i can answer some of your questions, i recently got banded and im 19
