Hi All. I had my band 2006 and have lost about 30kg till i had it replaced earlier this year. My second band was put in and i gained around 5 kg. I have being having fills every three weeks and am at 7 mls at the moment.i have since lost my 5 kg gained and fit back into the jeans i had not been able to wear. Even if i have had 2 bands i learn something new about it every day. I have not had bread or pasta since my first band and have got used to it, however there are lots of things i can still eat on certain days. If the food sticks i dont try it for a couple of days. I am in Australia so the fills are relatively cheap compared to what you are paying. I was so upset when i put on that extra 5kg and thought i would never get back to what i was pre 2nd band. I have to tell myself that it took lots of years to put the weight on and i need to be patient it will all come off in time. be patient and I wish you luck

hi all. I have had a 2nd band put in 4 months ago. My first band needed replacing due to problems. I had lost around 35 kg. My problem is that after i have had my new band put in i am very depressed as I have put on 6+ kg, not as much as my friend but still deprressing. I have a new 16 band i think and have oly 7 ml fill. Will i ever get down to the weight i was. has any one else had this issue. Another prob is that i have hit the big Menopause and am on HRT so hopefully i can blame it on that. What restriction will help me shed those 6kg and the other 10kg i want to loose before October. Love to hear from anyone.

Can i ask how big is your band
