Hi everyone, I havent post anything since September. a recap, I was banded on July 3rd weighting 238, today 12/29/12 I am 209. My first two fills didnt feel much of restriction only lost 21 pounds in four moths. I had my 4th fill on 12/17/12 and I have lost 10 lbs since than.. It hasnt been easy for me, I've been vomitting almost every day. The past two or three day I ve been better, I just need to keep in mind the small bites and shew shew shew.. After all, I am very happy of my weight lost and focused to reach my goal before my year bandnniversary.. I hope all of you are having great results as well..

I see my doctor in late Jan 2013. I'm hoping for a fourth fill but I don't know. He's a tight doctor with fills. If you're losing 1.5-2 pounds each week for 7-8 pounds a month he doesn't usually fill. You basically have to lie to him and say you struggled big time to lose the 8 pounds. He wants you to undersatnd how to eat better and not rely on the band to fix-all.

I guess he equates 7-8 pounds per month to up to 96 pounds loss in 1 year, which is very good.
