Hi Everyone,

I had my lapband surgery on May 19th, 06 as of today i've lost 20 lbs.

I haven't gain any back. But my scale doesn't want to move any more lower than that mark which has been that way for a week. I try to walk and now i'm back at work, i have a date for my first fill on July 17th.

Has anyone had this problem?

Hi,

I had my band on April 28th and go for my first fill on Monday. I have more or less not lost since getting mine either. However, I am not upset by that as I spend a great deal of time reading these boards. What we are both experiencing does not appear to be all that unusual. Many people say they experience no loss, or even gain, prior to getting filled. And, for many, it take as many as 2 to 3 fills before they reach their "sweet spot" and begin seeing any significant loss.

Let us know how things go once you have that first fill, and good luck to you.

Yep, been there done that. I was at a stand still after getting my band and then a few months later for about 3 months. Walking is what really kick started my wl again. Keep your head up and walk it off.:clap2: :clap2:

I can TOTALLY relate!!!!

I joined Weight Watchers Online yesterday to help me track my food intake better.

Hey i use fitday.com its free and easy as heck to use! im addicted to it lol!!!

I too lost weight up front then stopped and now i gained 5 lbs this last week! UUHHGG! LOL:faint:

Im sooo ready for a fill!!!:clap2: :clap2:

hey there is hope for all of you! I had this same problem at about 6 months. I felt like I was saying I had lost the same amount of weight too many times and the number never changed. I became discouraged and GAINED 10 POUNDS! I think people just get used to the fact that they have it, and slip a little into their old habbits. Just keep up your physical activity and try to experiment with what you are eating.

But I am down the 10 and than some. I am living proof that this works :] So keep your chin up.
