I had my first fill last Thursday 9/6, and I haven't gained or lost anything since then. I had been losing 3 lbs a week on average with just the plication. I havent felt as full as I had been feeling before this fill either. Im worried I'm not going to get back on the losing track. Haven't called the dr yet but I'm going to. Anyone else have this reaction?

We need a little more information. Are you eating 1200 calories per day and plenty of Protein? Tracking your food and eating one cup of food per meal? Drinking plenty of Water and exercising?

It usually takes more than one fill to get into the green zone although some never get a fill at all. It took me three fills. My doctor said 3-6 fills is the average.

I'm about 1000 calories a day and drink about 100 oz. of water and 45ish grams of protein a day. Nothing has changed in my eating or exercise habits, the only thing different is that I got a full. I find it strange that I was doing so well with only the plication and now that I have my band tightened I'm doing worse not better on my weight loss. How can getting a fill make me hungrier, eat more at a time not less, and not lose weight?

45 g of protein is very much on the low end. What kind of carbs are you eating and how much? You would need to eat a whole lot of "good carbs" to consume about 800 cals worth per day. Eventually you loose all the water weight and then you are working on true fat. Fat takes a 3500 cal deficit to lose 1 lb of fat. How much exercise are you doing? My doctor says at least 30 minutes 7 days a week. I do up to two hours daily and I am a slow looser.
