Hi, I was banded 9.22.06 and have lost 23lbs also. I have had 4 fills and am up to 3ccs. I also can eat about anything I want if I chew it well. I feel like I should be losing at a better rate. I lost my 23lbs. in the first 2 months, then nothing until last week when I lost 2lbs. I know lapband is slower than by-pass, but I have started to get discouraged. One problem I have, is not excersizing. I don't know why I fight it when I know it would help. Anyway, I am glad I'm not the only one that is a slow loser. I guess we just have to keep plugging away and know this is better than gaining!!! Good luck. Judy

I'm another one who was always hot (I'm 64) and now am cold although I still seem to have a hot flash now and then. I'm glad to hear that a lot of you are experiencing the same thing. I also live in Florida!!! Judy, doll lady

Hi everyone, I was banded 9.22.06 and have lost 23lbs. Dr. Jawad did my surgery in Ocala,Fl. I have had 4 fills and am up to 2 l/2 cc's. Unfortunately I'm still hungry and have not lost any weight for over 2 months. I'm getting very depressed. I still can eat anything I want and don't get sick. I also can eat almost as much as I did before my surgery. I need some feedback from some of you. HELP!!!
