After 2 years 1 month and 89 lbs down. Doc refuses to give me fills also.
Portion control and elimation of the above is truly the answer. The exercise you are doing is helping also. My fills cost $200.00. So it is just ok for me.
The lapband is only a tool. If you continuously measure your food and don't cheat you will lose more. After a while it slows down. There are some that I know that have no fills at all. 12 lb is great for a month that is 2 lbs a week. I lost 5 lbs in 2 months. Focus on living your life, enjoying it day by day. Enjoy your exercise. Keep having a positive attitude. Find friends who have lapband and brainstorm.
Think of the fun you will have watching the clothes you have in the closet go bye bye only to be replace by smaller sizes. DO NOT BE NERVOUS. HAVE GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP EVERY NIGHT.
