So I had the surgery on 12/27/11 and my first fill is 2/6/12. I was down 12 lbs . . but once I started on real food I gained a couple and am now only down 8 lbs. Just wondering if I am the only one. Anyone?? Hello?? : ) I have no restriction and feel like I am always hungry. I know I need to have more discipline!! Ugh!! Feels like I'm back on WW and failing. Hoping the fill will help with that. Thanks. Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer . . Just had to vent and need a little support.

Sorry to tell you this - but as been posted hundreds of times, it takes several fills normally to give you good restriction. I had my surgery over 2 yrs ago and it took until my 3rd fill - 4 mths later, before I felt like I had any restriciton. I didn't lose anything the first 4 mths - but then over the past 2 yrs have maintained over 100 lbs off. It'll happen. You have have some patience. I wish someone had told me this when I first got banded - I didn't do much research on it until aftwerwards. I'm very happy with my band now - the first few months tho I thought I had failed yet another weight loss attempt.
Good luck!
