I had my surgery back in Feb, and have had 2 fills with zero weight loss and no feeling of restriction. I am starting to feel that maybe it's not working for me.. So depressed. Then I read your post and it gives me hope, I have a third fill scheduled for the middle of July, hopefully it will be the fill that works wonders for me as well. Thank you for your post! it feels good to finally have restricton.i am also getting full by eating less then a full cup.....i had fill 2 days ago and already lost 5lbs....for those who dont have restricton yet....be patient it will come..keep up the good work,you can do it

I know how you feel. I have family visiting from out of the country and my uncle and aunt told me that the surgery is obviously not working as you look the samew. I feel like my family thinks it was a waste to get this surgery and that I have failed once again. I am still optimistic however, after reading the responses that the next couple of fills will do it. Thank You for posting, that is me also "bandster hell" Surgery was april 13th i feel like all my friends family and co workers watch me like a hawk and just keep waiting for something to happen.i have been feeling like such a failure, i had a fill done by flouro two weeks ago thinking that would make all the difference but honesty i feel less constricted, i have appt monday to get anouther fill done in office, then i have anouther appt two weeks later, keeping my fingers crossed. i have been eating only baked meat small veg no soda and excercising and i weight exactly the same as the day i went in for surgery. i did loose 20lb on the pre-op stuff. good thing is.. that havnt gained. soooo knowing im not alone has helped ALOT! ill watch your post for updates. stay strong my friend and i will do the same. NOT GIVING UP!

Hi, I had the band surgery in mid February, since then I have had two fills. Even with the two fills I am not feeling any restriction. I haven't lost a single pound in fact I may have gained a couple even! I called the clinic and they told me that it takes 2-4 fills to reach the "sweet spot" I am so frustrated, depressed and angry.. is this happened or happening to anyone else?
