slow loser? i lost only 29 punds since 8/2006! i am on my 8th adjustment. i honestly think that your banding need to be perfect in some people. i think that you can manipulate into eating more, for example if i get too full and still want to eat i can SLOW SIP liquids to push food down to eat more. i excersise when i want, i eat bad foods some times and at wrong times. i think your weight loss is ok, hang in there

why do you think you are a slow loser? are you overeating? wrong foods? not execiseing? i have same problem. on 8th adjustment! banded on 8/2006 . its either too loose or too tight. Starved or not. Can eat whole plate of food or 1/4. lost 29 pounds only

my surgeon said that the average pouch is the size of a large egg. i feel like mine is much begger. i got banded on 7/26/06 i lost 14 pounds. i was told you should eat til you satisfied and NEVER overeat. he said when you over eat the food just sits in your esophogus. are you loosing weight?

YOU LOOSE SO MUCH MORE WEIGHT faster BUT THE END RESULT WILL BE THE SAME, JUST NOT SO QUICK. ITS NOT EVEN HEALTHY TO LOOSE WEIGHT THAT FAST. DONE FORGET THE BYPASS HAS A MUCH MORE MORTALITY RATE, MORE COMPLICATIONS (DIARRHEA, GAS, DEATH, DEHYDRATION, MALNUTRITION) AND IT IS HARD TO REVERSE (VERY)

How much weight have you lost? i just got my secound band yesterday. The first was way too tight. My Dr. adjusts with a upper gi, which is a very good idea. I dont feel like i have any swelling, i can swollow much better now. What do you mean by it takes 1-2 weeks to kick in??
