  1. Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I am currently at 1.7 on my fill. Just depends on the day, some days I feel it is tight enough and somedays no restriction at all???? can't explain it. I don't believe I am to tight because I should not be able to get steak down with no problem and right now I am. I weighed myself today and dropped 3 lbs last two weeks but I am back on no sugar and no carbs at all. The sugar part kills me. Again thanks for all your help everone. :confused: Laura
  2. :biggrin1: Hello everyone, My name is Laura. I had my surgery May 06. I started my weight at 207lbs. The surgery was more for health problems than weight. I went in initially for gastric bypass, I had a birth defect and the doctor closed me up and I had to weight two more weeks so insurance would authorize lap band. I have lost only 30 lbs so far. I guess the worst part about the band is mornings can't seem to get much down, and waiting till I am famished so then I eat to fast and end up not keeping it down. Has anyone found anything that will jump start my weight loss again? I know I need a fill now as I can eat steak.. I am getting pretty disappointed with the band but I also know I am not following band protocol. Any suggestions are welcome. PS My doctor was Dr Johnelle in Colorado
