ARIZONA ,remember, everyone loses weight at a diffrent pace ! i also was frustrated about my slow weight loss i talked to my doctor last week when i got my first fill and this is what he told me ,you have only been banded 6wks ,your going throu your healing ! right now is the time to learn your new eating habits portion control, making good food choices,chewing your food well,eat slow 30min. drink plenty of Water .the time will come when you reach your green zone and the weight will start coming off ! after that talk with my doctor and not thinking i was a failer !! just be patient the time will come !! good luck ! thanks tonyann
