congratulations! what are you doing for workout???

I fly all the time and never had any problems. I do have problems with getting the band to fit right! I got the surgery in Mar 2008 and I have still only managed to lose about 25 lbs. I am so frustrated and disappointed!! I just went in for another adjustment, it is definatly too tight, I can;t eat anything without it coming back up but STILL not losing any weight! I just can;t figure out what is wrong. Maybe now I am in starvation mode??? But I am afraid to go have any fluid taken out since this is the first fill I've had where I can really feel ANY restriction. Anybody out there have any suggestions??? I will keep trying, you should too! What else can we do?

how much should you have taken out when this kind of thing is going on??? I'm afraid to take any out since I have finally got it to where I can;t eat whatever I want but now I can;t eat anything and everything is coming back up. The worst part of it is, I got it filled almost a month ago now and I dont think I have lost any weight! Has anyone else had something similar? If so, what did you do??? Why is this thing not working???

Hi, I am new on this website but thought it would be a good place to try to ask some questions. I had my lapband done in April 2008. I had it done at the Hospital Angelos in Tiajuana, Mexico. I had the first fill done about 3 months after (5cc). I was losing weight pretty good. I lost about 40 lbs in about 9 months since I got it done. Then I plateaued and did not lose anything at all for about 6-8 months so I went in to get it adjusted. I had originally 5 cc in, they put 7 in. When I had only 5 in there, I could eat pretty much whatever I liked, no problems whatsoever. When they put 7 in there, I had more trouble eating, I could definitly tell it was there and it stopped me from eating so much. The problem is, I gained back 30 lbs in less than 3 weeks!!! Since then, I have been struggling to get that weight back off again. I went back to the Dr a few months later (couldn;t get in for an appt) and tried to put more in put had problems with it. Dr took everything out and told me I needed to go to get a flouroscopy. Did that, long story short, now I have only 5 cc in there again and I can't eat anything! If I eat more than a few bites, it comes right back up! Never had that problem before. Even worse, it has been over 3 weeks now and I have not lost anything!!! I can;t go to the Dr til I get home which will be at least another week and I doubt I will be able to get an appt for a while longer. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is wrong????? I am getting incredibly frustrated with all this, I had such high hopes that I would finally be able to lose some weight. Now I am thinking this might turn out to be just another failure. Has anyone else had such problems getting the right fit for the band to work right??? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
