Well I guess I wasn't very clear on my situation. Yes I have had fills. I guess I don't quite understand "BOB". I am unable to attend support group meetings as they are 75 miles away from me, that's why I joined this support group. I need to ask questions...just don't know what to ask yet. I really do not feel much of a restriction when I have a fill...what do I need to tell the doctor? I have an upcoming visit this Friday. How much weight should I expect to lose? Am I supposed to be on some kind of diet? These are the kind of questions that I have...I've searched the internet but there really isn't a whole lot of info there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hay, I had "gastric bypass" 08/2000 and did great (lost 100 lbs). Then, of course it started creeping back on. So, my doc suggested "lap band" on top of it. I haven't been very successful and I really don't know why and I am quite frustrated. It has been since 10/09 and I can eat what I want still and I have not lost the weight that I wanted to by now. What am I doing wrong? I need help in Texas!! Glad I found this Support Group...I need support that I don't have to drive to.
