Newbie who is 15 weeks post surgery

Hello

I am a newbie to this site. I am 15 weeks post surgery. I am starting to get really frustrated. I am not feeling very little to no restriction. My husband has even said to me that he is not seeing a difference in how much I eat. I have had several fills and I believe I have 9ccs in my 11cc band. I am just wondering if anyone out there has been through the same thing? I have only lost 12 pounds and now I am stuck..... I losse 3 pounds then within a couple days I gain it right back. I just want to CRY!

I'm sorry you are going through such a rough time. Have you spoken to your doctor about not feeling any different? Maybe they need to do a fill under flouroscopy to make sure everything is as it should be.

Their is a machine called Fluoroscope "X-RAY for your Organs, and the Band. "

Tell your Dr. That you want to be filled under Fluoroscope He/ and you will watch the whole thing.

If there is a Problem it will show up.

Since your under the Scope, tell him to fill you to your fill line. "Yes you have one, and he can do this" then you will know what you have in the Band.

You should feel Restriction, when they give you a Glass of Water to Drink.

This is what I had done, I hope it works for you..
