I was banded on 10/09/09 and i have only lost 18lbs since surgery. My first fill was 11/22 with 6cc in 11cc realize band. I lost the first 10 lbs while on liquid diet after surgery. I feel some restriction but dont think i am filled to where I need to be...I have been drinking 50-60 gm protein a day..in addition to whatever I eat and I have been excercising 30 mins 4 days a week. I could really use a mentor who has had success with the band...I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

I have had success with the band and am almost 6 years out and will do what I can to help you if you are willing to learn how to "work" the band. Please check out my success story in that forum and let me know if you would like me to try to help. You've reached out..that's the first step in going for the gold! Or, you can PM me.

Sandi, I lve your story, and would really like to pick your brain about your success. I was banded almost 3 years ago and had a lot of complications with the right amount of Fluid in my band. May I pick your brain????
