Hi everyone I had my first fill a month ago and have only lost 4 lbs. I definitely eat less - but not a LOT less. I exercise, eat Protein first followed by veggies and fruit - only 3 x's a day and in general I am very concientious and committed to eating right. I can eat about 1 - 1.5 cups of food at a time which is more than I thought I could eat. Anyone have the same experience? I think I need a fill - My husband thinks I am crazy

Hi everyone - I had lapband surgery May 15th in Monterrey with Dr. Rumbaut. I lost 9 lbs in 8 weeks and since my first fill a month ago - I have only lost 6 lbs. Since my fill I can eat much more than 1/2 cup of food. More like 1 - 1 1/2 cups of food 3 x's a day. Do you think I need another fill?
