i was banded on the 24th i to had a low bmi and i was very discouraged ive only lost 12 pounds but i just had a second fill and im really feeling the restriction i can only get down a few bites of anything im a little worried its to tight hopefully it will losen up but restriction is what i wanted

i had my first fill 3 weeks ago had some restriction for the first couple days now i have none the scale hasnt moved i called my doc hes going to adjust it next friday i feel so defeated im eating like i was before my band i try to remember i didnt gain weight overnight im not going to lose it overnight but i still feel like i should be losing some weight!

kitten i was banded on aug 24th and ive only lost 18 pounds and im starting to lose faith to but this is just the begining and we have a long way to go

it will get better with your fill i just had this crazy notion once i had my fill i could eat whatever i want and the pounds would melt off i need to remember the band is just a tool and i need to use it i want to start excercising but i have little energy

:whoo::notagree

Thank you!!
