Hey everyone im new to this

Hi everyone.

I live in england and i'm 22 years old. I had a lap band fitted in september 2010 after years of being depressed with my weight.

I am now however regretting the decision slightly as i have only lost about 10 pounds even though i am eating no where near as much as i use to. Has this happened to anyone else? I am even considering having the band taken out. I am going for my second fill tomorrow even though i am still fairly restricted so im hoping this may help but im not convinced.

Thanks guys

Hannah x

Hi Hanna , I just got banded 5 days ago. Are you exercising ? Maybe talk to your dr. Office maybe they can help , I think you should try to be strong give it more time. My brother is also banded 5 years now and it took him awhile to reach his goal but he has Kept it off four years!!! This takes time could be the foods your eating maybe to much throughout the day or something as simple as that. :-/ I know you must be frustrated just give it time you did this surgery for a reason don't give up and please talk to your dr. I know they can help.
