  1. I had the lap band on March 15th 2017. I started off weighting 205. Today i weight 185 a total weight loss of 20 pounds in 4 months. Is this normal shouldn't it be more? I have a 10 cc band and currently have 6.5 cc in it. I been working out 4 to 5 times a week and feel like I'm not losing anything for all the hard work I'm doing... Also i have PCOS and i thought this would help it but no luck yet... I'm thinking i should have got the sleeve... Any thoughts or words of encouragement. Or how's the weight loss for everyone else going at 4 months in?? Please help... Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app
  2. Don't regret this. It's going to change things for the best. My emotions have been crazy too... I had my lap band in March and only have lost 20 pounds... I wish i could lose more. I don't know what I'm doing wrong... Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app
  3. Hi all, I'm 7 weeks into having my lap band. I kinda want to see how the process of others are going. At the time of surgery on March 15th I was 205 as of today I'm 194. Not as much as i was hoping after 7 weeks... Also, I've been super gassy. This is weird to me because before I never had so much gas or gas pains. Anybody else experiencing this? Also, I have a 10cc band and had my first fill of 4.5cc and i only fill a little restricted... I wish i would see the results faster. I'm worried this is not going to work for me... Any thoughts?
