I was banded 11/21/07 and was also self pay. Maybe the band doesn't like self payers. YIKES! I lost 10 lbs. on the pre-op, but really not much since then. I've had one fill on 1/2/08 and noticed no difference. I'm scheduled for another one 1/21/08. I keep wondering why everyone except me is losing. I keep a fog log and exercise. I drink all the fluids. I'm quite frustrated as this was a lot of money. Wanted to let you know you're not alone. Linda

Hi there, I was banded 11/21/07. I lost 10 pounds on the pre-op, but since then have struggled to lose any more. I had one fill on 1/2/08. I'm so discouraged as I'm doing everything right. I keep wondering if I will be one of the people who don't lose weight no matter what they do. Thanks for any info you can give on what you normally eat in a day - also what do you do for exercise? Many thanks, Linda
