I really don't want to be negative because the band can be an amazing tool and has helped many people lose weight. My experience has been disappointing. I started out at 225 and am now at 215 and I was banded in december. I keep getting fills I'm at 7cc in a 10cc band. It seems like I either can't eat anything or can eat whatever I want. I feel like a failure. I think that you have to realize before you get your band that it is going to be a lot of work. It is going to be like going on a diet. I believe that is why I haven't done well yet. I thought this would be some magic wand that would help me. My worst problem is snacking. I've never been a sit down and eat a big meal kind of person. Maybe I just wasn't the right candidate for the band.:wink2:

I also just had my first fill. I'm up to 5cc in a 10cc band. At first I didn't even think water would go down and now I am back to feeling like I hardly have any restriction at all. I'm very discouraged. I thought this would be better than this. My problem is that I either feel no restriction or I feel like nothing will go down. It varies. Help!!
