  1. Hello , I am new to this so please be patient. I had my Lapband placed on Dec. 20th 2010 and it does appear that you have to have a series of adjustments . I have had 2 and I have'nt lost much weight at all since the surgery only about 8 lbs. I will have my 3rd adj. on April 18th and i really hope and pray that this will be the one that reallyworks for me. So for those of you out there that may be going through tha same thing I would love to hear back from you.
  2. Hi I am a Newbie too and I have already had my Lapband and really had no problemes as far as vomiting goes my problem is the fillings . I had my Surgery on Dec. 20th 2010 with a starting weight of 252 on the day of Surgery . I lost 19 lbs. on the diet they put me on 2 weeks prior. I had my 1st filling 4 weeks later on Jan. 17th 2011 and the 2nd fill on Feb. 21st. I am sceduled for a 3rd filling next week. I have only lost 7lbs since the surgery. The Doctor said everyone is different and it could take as many as 6 adjustments or fillings before we find the one that workes for me . My question is this......How many adjustments is the norm and is there anyone else out there who is having or has had the same problem? I really need some positive words that this is going to work.
