I had my son feb 2015 got my fill April I still nursed him my milk didn't decrease Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had the same thing! 3cc my 1st fill 0.8 my 2nd and 0.7 2days ago. I was feeling the same as u. My band is very sensitive and I'm loosing slow. But loosing nevertheless. So just listen to your body. U don't want too much in it and have problems. Slow and steady wins the race????

My dr said it was a good amount of weight loss considering my starting weight of 237 so I'm not complaining. Just wanted to hear other opinions and experiences. Thxs everyone????

Yes it was nov 2012 lol. I appreciate your words because I definitely feel like its not enough but I'm also happy I lost at all!!!

Hi everyone! I was banded nov 2013 and I've since lost 46 pounds. To me it's not a lot for a year but my band is temperamental. Had my first fill in April five months after surgery, put in 3cc. Then my next full was July 3 months later put in 0.8cc and finally I had a fill yesterday 6 months later put in only 0.7cc! I felt less restriction and I knew I needed a fill. But I lost 16 pounds from July till now. I only have a total of 4.5 in my band is that normal?

So I applied heat pack and the pain moved I was gassy coming out both ends lol but the dr said it happens from time to time! Thank god it wasn't serious

Hey everyone I got a fill in July 3.... Total of .8cc I've lost 17lbs since then is that enough to loose in 3 mths or should I have lost more? I'm sure I'm due for a fill gettin hungrier faster and getting more in, listen to ur body huh

Thanks to each if u for responding! I will make an appointment with my Dr. ASAP

Hello all.... I was banded nov 2012 I've recently been experiencing some weird pains. Had pain in my shoulder last week I thought it was the coming if The Lord that's how bad it was. Just out the blue and it lasted for a week. Now the pain has shifted to my middle back! Could this be the gas I've heard ppl talk about on here? I'm burping and farting( excuse me ) but the pain won't go away. I thought those gas pockets were for early banders I'm 11 months in..... Omg this pain please any info will be greatly appreciated

Hi I'm a PCA similar to a CNA except I draw blood and go EKG's I didn't have my surgery at my hospital, while I stayed in network I needed some privacy. News spreads fast in the hospital. I didn't want anybody to see my stuff in the OR that I knew! Lol I started at 237 I'm now 204 I've had 2 fills. I plateaued for like 3 months and lost nothing! Just got a fill 2 weeks ago and in down 4lbs. The nurses in pacu were awesome! Had my 1mg I'd dilaudid on time! I brought my own incentive spirometer did my own ortostatic bps lol it was hard to be a patient
