Well I got my lapband one year ago in August of 2008. I am one of the rare ones who have not lost any weight with band. In fact, today I am heavier than when I started by a few pounds. I got my 1st fill in 9/08 and it gave me good restriction - almost too much. I pretty much stuck to eating soup, salad and lots of desserts. I did lose 16 pounds which was not the amount I hear from others but still it was a loss which is always good. Finally, in 4/09 - I was sick of my limited diet and PBing and spitting up all the time and living on suger. I got an unfill and suddenly could eat everything I had been denied for the last 8 months. Well, in for months I gained 20 ponds back. I went to get another fill last week to stop this trend. I just feel really heavy and gross right now. Unfortunately, I think I am going to have to go back again bc I can tell I still do not have enogh restriction. :(. My fill center is 2 hours away and I am a single mom to two kids so that is why Iit is so hard for me to get fills. I am not giving up. I really want this surgery to be a success but is tough for me. I see all these mind blowing weight loss numbers on this board and I get down thinking why do I have to be the one person on the planet who is not losing with a lapband. Thanks for listening!
