  1. Hi all, I have been banded for over two months now and I am feeling a bit depressed. The first week i dropped 9lbs and then went on to lose a further 5lbs by the second week. However I am now well into the 3rd month and have not lost anything at all. I have contacted the surgeon who peformed the op and he has told me in (not so many words) to start the first phase of the post-op stage again. I feel disheartened as I already know that I will lose the weight if I go back to stage one, as I will be only fuelling my body with liquids. The first month after the op I felt a lot of restriction which has now subsided, I basically want that back as that limited my food intake, now I am back to normal eating the same portions sizes I had done pre-op. I was told by the surgeon that I should not need a fill as the band on it's only should reduce my weight but, I feel everyone is different and maybe a fill is what i really need to kick-start my weight lose again. Any advise would be much appreciated.
