Bella has a great answer. Just work with your band. 1st and foremost you must heal.... You must take care of your band and yourself.

Hello: I am in Ashland, Ky and go to Kings Daughters Medical Center Dr Tompkins... I had my band done in August and have lost 23 pounds in the last two and a half months. I haven't even had a fill yet and Dr. Tompkins said he wouldn't give me my first fill until I lost below 1# per week. He would save the fills till when I needed them the most. I love my band. I have humana Insurance and had to do the 6 months diet with dr supervision. However, was approved right away after I jumped through all their hoops... Guess I was kinds lucky. Good luck. KY Girl

Silry Don't know much about the band... I am going to have mine on Aug 1.. I think you you are following all the rules... You need to talk to your doctor or nutricionist. May there is some kind of problem. The drink is not the answer..... Best of luck... KYgirl
