This is not common.. What are you eating? Are you exercising I was banded on March 21st this year and just had my second fill Thursday at 6.9 in 10cc are you too tight? I've only lost about 30 pounds but I lost a lot of inches maybe your body is in shock... Just make sure you are getting your Protein in. Best of luck to you!!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Hello fellow banders... I am almost 2 months out and is feeling great. I've been reading that many are getting depressed because they are not losing... My advice it to be patient it seems like it just go away over night. I've went from an 18 to 14 I've lost a ton of inches and just 30 pounds I'm not worried about the pounds as long as I'm losing inches and Health is great. I realize that the weight it slower and I am happy with that. At my job many thought that I was out having my gall bladder removed.. Well my boss saw me walking in the hall and he said "holy **** you have lost a lot of weight" I laughed and said thank you then he proceed to say Lisa did you really have your gall bladder removed or something else I laughed it off and said yes I did.. So my advice is to be patient take it easy follow the rules and you will be happy because I am and I'm loving the band.. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

It will get better.. When I'm at the gym or eating all I think of is a slimmer and healthier me.. I don't think about the food and don't want to et te wrong things because I refuse to overdo it and go to the ER. It's a slow process but it will be worthwhile. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Good evening.... I was banded on the 21st of March and the day after I was asking myself what have I gotten my self into...lol I am so happy that I made the decision to go though with it. Everyday is a better day. I love my band I am 13 days post op and has lost 15 pounds so excited. I'm finally back at work.. My first day was horrible but as the days went by things are better. I had a coworker tell me today that I am getting thinner ( they think I was out having my gallbladder removed) I really can tell in my face and neck. Good luck to everyone just wanted to share that information.

Thanks Judy..that is wonderful Andrea I'm not hungry at all I have to remind myself to eat. That's good your off. I'm a manager and in the Accounting world I can't miss a beat. They first day back a week after surgery I just wanted to cry. Congrats on your weight loss.

Hi Brandi are you taking your vitiamns and Calcium. I make sure I take these every morning I was weak and no energy as well until I made sure these was done on a daily.

Hey tex411 what are you taking the gas-x strips helped me instantly.

Hi Tash.. You may have to watch the sodium I was banded on the 21st at surgery I was 235 then day after went to 225 weird huh.. Lol I think it was the scale because the next day it was 233 but I've only had popsicles... Jello... And low sodium broth today at 6 days post op I'm 229. It is so hard for me to get anything in.

Right.... Once I took that gas x and walked it went away.
