I was also banded in late Februay and have only lost 25 pounds. I have had 2 fills and have 2.6cc in a 10cc band. I have trouble swallowing Water if they put to much in at my fills, so they are going slowly. They also told me since I had a lower BMI to start with that I would lose slower! Very discouraging. Just thought I would let you know you are not alone!

I have been a member of Curves for 4 years now and love it. I think now that I have the lapband it is only going to help me! Where else can you workout in 30 minutes and work all of the muscles you need to ?? I love it! I have tried other places and Curves just works so much better for me!

Great to know it has happened to other people. I just hope I can stay restricted until the next fill on 4/30/08.

I was banded on 2/27/08 and got my 1st fill yesterday 4/2/08. They were going to give me 2 cc in a 10cc band, but when they did I couldn't swallow water very well so I ended up only getting about 1 cc.....does this sound right for a first fill?? The Dr said my band may be a little tight still from surgery...but I just wanted to see if anyone else had anything like this?? thanks:unsure:

I have noticed the protein drinks have the same effect on me! I am 3 weeks post op so I have started eating cottage cheese for the protein. Just a thought!

I was banded on 2/27/08 and have lost 18.5 pounds. Starting to see I can eat more....so I am ready for that first fill on 4/2/08!!

I was banded on 2/27/08 and have lost 18 pounds. I am watching what I eat very carefully!

So far so good. Still trying to get use to eating less. My 1st fill is on 4/2/08. I have lost 16.5 pounds so far.

I have just been banded a little over 2 weeks. I just want to say all the comments and ideals have really helped me. Thanks
