  1. I had my first fill last week and have experienced a lot of discomfort with the port. This past week wearing dress pants or jeans have been unbearable. Anyone experience this?
  2. Hi everyone.... I was banded on 3/22 and lost 15lbs in a few weeks. Since staring back on trying to eat normal I've gained weight. I go for my first fill Wednesday. After reading your comments I feel better. Thanks for posting. Good luck everyone!!!!!
  3. Good luck everyone!!!! It's going to be an exciting journey. I was banded on 3/22. Not seeing much lose yet but I feel great. Go for my first fill next week.
  4. Well... I weighted myself this morning and gained again. Getting very discouraged now. I'm eating under 1000 calories of which include 2-3 protein shakes a day. I'm wondering if I've gone thru fighting with the insurance company for a year to have this and it's not going to work for me. I'm so praying that after my first fill next week something will click. ???’
  5. Hi everyone...I'm new to this site. I've been reading thru your posts about weight gain. I was banded on 3/22, haven't had a fill yet. But when I went for my first 2 week visit I had lost 14lbs. Weighted this past Thursday an I've gained 6lbs. It happen when I was at the week where you start eating regular food. I'm praying that this is not a sign. I too have struggled with me weight for years. Hopefully I will see a difference after my fill next week. Any advice is greatly welcomed!!!!
