It will be worth it, I know its slows but I remain positive. I am sure everyone struggle at the beginning.

starbaby11 we are not failures it just takes a little time, I know how you feel I want instant gratification but after all the replys I have received I know it will work it will just take a little time, lets hang in there and we will be successful I have faith, I am hungry but have faith.

Hi, I had my first fill 9 days ago, the doctor put in 4cc and I feel no restriction, so I am looking forward to another fill as soon as possible. It all depends on your doctor. Good luck.

All of you have been so encouraging. I think I was hoping for instant gratification, but patience and watching what you eat are key. I enjoy so much hearing from all of you. I am waiting for the doctor to call me back and see when I can go for a 2nd fill. I have to start eating more protein. I am looking forward to that yes!!!!! feeling. Thank you again.

Thanks everyone, I know old habits are hard to change, I am making progress I eat smaller portions but feel hungry within 2 hours or so, I have been exercising so I know that once I feel that restriction and am able to feel satisfied I will eat less and the weight will start to come off, I just feel so frustrated.

Thanks, I have a call into him now, I just feel like why did I do this? nothing has happened, I am still eating the same and not losing weight, I hope he can fix it. Nutritionist tells me its normal and I cannot see it being normal. 100 lbs that is awesome!!!!!

So I had surgery on 11/19 got my first fill on 1/8 4ccs, I still feel no restriction. I have not lost any weight since the surgery and I am so frustrated that I can cry. How soon after the first fill can I get another one?

Hi I am new to this site, but I was also banded on 11/19 and I too feel no restrictions, I feel like I can eat anything I want, I feel hungry all the time. Not sure if I got filled before I left the hospital but I think I need a fill now. How soon after banding can we get a fill. I lost 14 pounds and have gained 1, so I am getting very nervous.
