Okay, I was banded 12.01.09 and I have only lost 17lbs to date. I have had 3 fills and I still feel hungry after eating a saucer of food. I am not making horrible food choices, and I exercise at least 3 days a week. My surgeon for some reason will not tell me how much he has filled my band with...the last time i saw him, he was just fussing @ me and making me feel even worse than I already do. He says I am the worst patient he has ever had. Preop i was 296 and when I weighed myself today i was 279. I mean, I dnt know what i am doing wrong..I told my doc I can eat more than a saucer, he gave me a fill(i guess), but I still dnt have that feeling of being satisfied...the only difference I feel is when I eat certain foods like baked chicken, it is very hard for it to go down and I start having productive burps and the sliming starts. I have since moved to another city and my insurance doesnt kick in unitl june1st...i have an appt with another lapband doc here on the 2nd of june...maybe he can help me get on track...im just so upset and mad @ myself bc im not losing any weight. Is the intial weightloss supposed to be this slow? Maybe I shouldve gotten the gastric bypass. Anyone with any advice, plz help. Thanks:confused:

Discouraged Slow Loser Here

:smile2: I am trying not to sound like a sore loser by having this band...but that's what i feel like. I have had major surgery done on my body for weight loss...but it seems like its all in vain. I havent lost any significant amt of weight and i have been banded 4 months now... and i have only lost 17 funky lil lbs. What's a girl 2 do? I have been working out...not eating terrible foods, but 4 what? Maybe im just doomed to be fat the rest of my life.:wink2::wink2:
