OMG, I thought I was the only one who failed with the lap band. I am 10 months post op and I have lost 10 pounds. 10 POUNDS!!!! I have an 11cc band and am at a 10.4 fill. I feel almost no restriction, certainly not enough to assist in weight loss. I can eat a lot of whatever. Very few foods are off limits. All my fills were with flouro, and my band was perfectly positioned and my pouch was good. I have spent another $3000.00 on fills alone! The fill center took me up in such small fill increments that I have spent a small fortune in both time and money. I was so disappointed thinking it was my stupid bad luck that i had no success. But I am seeing that others had problems with the band too. How come it works so well for others and for me, almost no help at all? I am tempted to just jump right in and replace the band with the plication, but maybe I will wait to see if there are complications. I am so tired of being disappointed and blaming myself for failure. I thought by now I would have lost the 60# I need to lose.
