Hi everyone. I was banded on 11/17/07. I am glad that I found a thread where we can give God praise for all that he is doing in us. I must admit that I have been pretty discouraged because I have not lost any weight since my first fill (I am beginning to wonder if the fill took) but I am going back in 10 days for another fill. Hopefully this will be what I need to lose weight again. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi, I was banded on Nov. 17th of 07, since then I have lost 24lbs. I have had one fill, but I do not know if it took - I thought I felt restriction right afterward but it was gone within a day. Since then I have been trying to get back in for another fill but the office keeps pushing my date back for various reasons. Now I am scheduled to go in 10 days, and I am so depressed. I have not lost any weight since my first fill (does this mean perhaps the fill didn't take?) I am trying to exercise at least 2x-4x per week, up to an hour at a time on the elliptical machine (the machine says that I burn 600cal, but I am still not losing weight.) I am glad to have found this thread. Any suggestions on what I should do before I go back for my next fill. I am actually nervous to go back since I have not lost any weight since the last fill. Please help my fellow bandsters :wink_smile:.
