    Are you happy where you are?

    Reading your blog entry was like looking in a mirror...I could've written this!! The only thing is...I haven't lost any of the weight yet. (Except the initial 20 before surgery...) At least you've started your journey. I'm afraid to even take the first step. I was banded in December, my doctor won't do more than one fill per month, so I'm 4 fills in and have no restriction to speak of. Talk about frustrated...!! I'm thinking you've done a great job so far, and I would surely be proud of myself if I were you. Keep your chin up and remember, your success so far is an inspiration to those of us that haven't found the winning numbers on that lottery ticket yet!!!
  2. Hi!! I've been reading this web site for four months now. I got banded in December, and am still struggling with losing the weight. I'm not feeling the restriction that I thought I would, so it's been a challenge. I did lose 23 pounds before the operation, and I've kept it off, but tomorrow I go for my 4th fill, and I'm going to have a gain. My doctor is great, but he doesn't do fills whenever you feel you need them...he only does them every four weeks.... I'm just hoping that this is the one that will give me the restriction I need to really start this adventure. I was so ready when I had the surgery, but I'm fading fast. I'm r_e_a_l_l_y ready to do this!! Give me luck! I need it! :wink:.......................... Anybody out there having the same problem?

    Help! 3 fills and no change!!

    Don't know if I'm doing this right, but just wanted to say thanks so much for the replies to my thread!! I couldn't go in for my fill today, because my doctor had to do emergency surgery, and I had to reschedule for next Tuesday, but you have all made me feel a little better about my situation. Knowing that it's the more the 'norm' than the exception is comforting. I'm going to do this, darn it!! Hopefully everyone that replied to me will do a good job too. Good luck to everyone...:smile2:
