Ok, I will start my journal and keep you posted, I will also let you know how my doctors visit goes. Thank you so much for all the feedback, It truly helps.

Wish me luck everyone, my doctor is going to do a Sonogram with that liquid stuff @ my next appointment, to make sure my band is ok, and there is no slippage or leaking with my band @ least this will put my mind at ease, and I will know if everything is ok and that the band was put on properly, because come on guys 8 months and no weight loss, I don't know??? but, I hope I don't have to have surgey again

I try not to eat that much, but I still get hungry and I don't get full as fast as I should. My doctor is going to do a sonogram with that liquid stuff to see if there is any problem with my band so hopefully everything is ok.

Wow you are only on your second fill and have lost 38 pounds thats awesome. I am on my 5th fill @5cc and I have not lost anything, I have gained. It still takes a lot before it feels like I a m full.

Maybe, however I should have lost something by now (it has been 8 months) , not gained and I have began a food journal. Thank you, anymore suggestions? I welcome all.

Thanks for the reply, I hope so because as I have said I have lost nothing, I have gained, it really sucks, starting to get worried that it was all for nothing, however I will hang in there.

I have had my Lap Band for 8 months now and have gotten 5 fills, after the surgery I felt full lost 2 pounds. After that I felt nothing the last fill my food started getting stuck and I threw up. I have not lost any weight I have actually gained 8 pounds, whats going on, will I be the only person who has Lap Band that did not lose weight, I am so frustrated.I spoke to other patients in the waiting room and they started losing weight immediatley. 2 people told me they lost 65-70 pounds within 2-3 months. I keep asking my doctor if maybe the band slipped he tells me to be patient we have to get the cc's right. My last fill which was on june 5th he said i did not need a fill this time he dosen't want it to be too tight and to come back in August, however I gained 8 pounds I am confused why wouldn't I need a fill? and why would I wait to come back way....in August if I am not losing? Can anyone help me anyone????
