Hi all!

I need a little advice and I am hoping you all can help. I was banded in March of 07. I lost 87 pounds by the time a year rolled around. Since then I have gained 10 pounds back and will loose 2 pounds then gain them back too.

I had another fill done in June of 08 and I did not drop weight. I feel I am stuck and doing the wrong thing. First I was riding a bike often and due to my schedule have not been able to ride as often as I use to. I have developed cravings for sweets something I have never had. Fried foods were my weakness. Sometimes all that will go down are sweets. Why now after a year. I do not want to gain it back. I am thinking of going in for another fill. I am Phoenix now and fill centers USA is near. I was doing so well and was only 30 pounds away from my goal. Now I am scared of the scale again. At one point I loved getting on it, because my weight was dropping steadily. Any ideas to help me get back on track?

Thanks:unsure:

We're on the same track. Had the fill the same time you did, and I'm having the same problems. I've gotten another fill and I'm struggleing, but I'm not going to get fat again!! I think it has to do with realizing that the Lapband can't do it by itself...darn it!!! Keep on trying!

I'm having the same issues. I don't feel restricted and I'm not losing. I'm at 6cc but I'm think I should be at 8. Like you, I;m eating better and excercising so I know that this is better than what I was doing....I sometimes think about what I ate before and I wonder why I'm not dead....Keep up the good work......

I'm glad I found you guys. I thought I was losing what was left of my mind! I'm 18 months past surgery; lost 86 pounds the first year but not a pound in the last 6 months since I discovered how easily ice cream slips past the band.

I checked in with my friendly neighborhood shrink to see why I moved my needs to last place again.....No answers yet, but nice to have somebody to talk to

Anyway it's nice to know I'm not the only one having thse issues
