Ladies, just to make you feel more at ease I will back up exactly what Freckles said... I had my op 09/03/2010, I lost initial weight thanks to the pre op diet and the surgery itself.
But for 6 longgggggggggggg weeks I never moved another ounce. I missed my second fill as I was on holiday, but went for it on 08/06/2010 and now have 4 mls in me, and the weight has started to move again and in the right direction.
Since last Thursday I have lost 4 & 1/2 lbs in 6 days. So restriction does come eventually, so don't give up too early.
I am half expecting to go for fill number 3 on 08/07/2010 in Manchester and maybe just maybe I will get to where I need to feel the true restriction I am waiting for.
They do say and it's true it's not a miracle cure but a tool for us to work at and with. So be patient like I am and many others are and I am sure it will be what you want it to be.
On a great news note for me, since Xmas 2009 I went to my doctor who said my blood pressure was high and that was down to my weight. I have lost 16kg since then, and now my BP is "normal" again, so I am impressed.
Long may this continue I say!
Good luck and keep thinking "my turn is coming soon"
