Seriously, I have to wonder it I wasted my time and money on the lap band procedure. I was banded November 4th and I have only lost about 12 lbs post op and 10 lbs pre-op. Granite my father died a few weeks ago and I didn't really comply with the diet, however I've been back on track now and I am just not seeing a weight loss. I have been filled twice for a total of 1.6cc in my 10cc band. I am really starting to wonder if the lap band is right for me. I really want to make it work, I barely have any restriciton at all and If it weren't for LBT, I think I would have given up by now.

My father died of metastatic lung cancer last Thursday and we burried him yesterday. I am so hurt right now. I just got banded in November and now I feel so selfish. Why should I care about myself? My dad just died. This is not making sense but it's how I feel. Man, I'm so hurt right now.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words of encouragement. My father would've wanted to see me healthy and I will push on. I just miss him so dearly, I am so blessed to have found this forum as it really gives me the strength to keep on truckin' Thanks again.

Hi. I was banded on November 4th and I haven't been following the post op diet. My MD had me on clears for 2 weeks now I'm on soft foods. Here's my problem, my father has just been diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer and was given a couple of months to live. He was diagnosed shortly after my surgery and now I'm eating out of stress. I really want this badly and now I'm afraid that I could hurt my band. I am a registered nurse and I know better. Please don't judge me. I will get back on track today, no more cheating. Any words of encouragement are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

thank you all for your responses. Today is a new day and I will get through this trying time. You all are awesome!0

Thank you. I needed to hear that.

Yes I too I have the same problem. I was banded on Nov 4th and now I feel I can eat as I did before surgery. I have no restriction at all. It can be very discouraging. I get my first fill on Dec.5th. I hope this will help. My doctor said that he will only put in 1cc my first fill. Is this typical?
