Started at 221. I had surgery October 27...lost 20 pounds in the first two weeks (I know crazy!) Things went really well for a while - I lost 40 pounds by end of November. Then weight loss started to slow down so I got an adjustment in April'ish...lost another 9 pounds in a week and got down to 171 but was throwing up everyday. Got adjusted again in middle of June to stop puking and from middle of June til now GAINED 20 POUNDS!! I am so angry!! I finally talked my nurse prac to give me an adjustment again to tighten me. She wasn't very cooperative about it until I said let's take this thing out because it's not helping me. It's so weird! Started at 221, got down to 171, now am at 191 and am so depressed and ANGRY!! I don't feel very restricted and she tightened me today. She keeps saying I need to quit relying on my band...is that true? I thought I got the band to lose weight? It was so easy until I started to throw up alot and she adjusted me so much that there was truly no restriction - she said I needed it to give the "trauma" to my band a break. So today I finally got an adjustment...she won't even tell me how much. What is the deal with that? I feel like she wants me to fail? HELP! any advice, good or bad is appreciated!!!!!!

I just had my surgery October 28. Since my surgery date I had lost 19 pounds. Over the weekend, I increased my calorie intake (from under 600 cal./day) to between 700-900. I haven't had a fill yet but since yesterday I've gained 1 pound. I'm devastated. I don't understand how this could have happened! Anyone with an comments or thoughts please?
