:thumbup:Hi Katy,I had my Lap-Band done in August of 08 and have had three fills.I can tell you ,there is nothing to the fills as far as pain goes.They give you a local first and it doesn't hurt at all.Don't know why anyone fears them.This last fill ,last week, has really made a difference in how much I can eat.Before that I could eat just like before surgery.I have lost slowly also but remember we are in our sixties! good luck and hang in ther:tt1:e,Laura

Hey Carol.I was banded in August and have lost 30lbs.I go in Wed.for my third fill.I only feel a little restriction.I started eating a few more carbs in the form of fruits when I noticed my hair thinning.I think our weight loss is slow due to our age.I wanted it to be faster but I feel really well and that is important to me.Let's keep doing the right things and I think it will come.Good luck ,Laura

Hi Ella.I was banded in August of 08,and am doing very well.I am down about 36 lbs.and go for my third fill next week.I havn;t had a single side affect! I am figuering out the best diet for me now that I am down the road a little.Christmas set me back a little.I didn't lose or gain tho! Now I am back on track and looking forward to a good year.Good luck to you,Laura:thumbup:

Hey August girls.I was banded on Aug.18th.in Phoenix.I have had two fills and have lost about 30 lbs.I feel so much better after reading your post because I felt like I should have lost so much more! thanks girls! Laura

Hey,just read your post and i too can still eat a lot! i am going for the third fill as i don't feel anything!!!!!!!!!! I have been at the same weight for three months! Are you losing now?:grouphug: Laura

Hey,you girls sound like me.Was banded in late august and am down about 35lbs.I was hoping for faster weight loss.I am hoping my next fill will restrict me more.What problems are you having sstaying on low carbs???????? laura:tt2::thumbup::tt2:

Hi Boo Boo,Laura here and looking for some support.I just signed on new today and am feeling panicky.I didn't gain over the Holiday but didn't lose either.I was banded in late August 08 and have lost thirty pounds.I feel like i can still eat way to much after two fills .Is this normal.? I rarely feel my restriction.I am scheduled for another fill on Jan.21st.I am embarrassed for my Dr.to see how little weight I have lost in past two months.I turned right to the Xmas.goodies and feel really guilty and out of control.I know the best advice comes from those who have been there.Help!!!!!!!
