I was banded by Dr. Billlings in Edmonds, WA on December 29 and had my first fill 2 weeks ago - I have lost a total 25 lbs. Right after surgery the band was very tight and I had no trouble losing, but now feel like I can eat almost as much as before the surgery. And, I have those darn carb. cravings in the evenings. I go back to the doc. in two weeks for another fill but an afraid I will gain weight in the meantime. I have NO will power...

:help:

Bethpia, its okay to gain a couple lbs. That happened to me in between fills. You will be okay once you have the proper restriction.

Wow! Bethpia 25lbs is fantastic Congratulations! Welcome to LBT you are among friends here...we have all been where you are...it took me 3-4 fills before I felt sufficiantly full inbetween meals so hang in there, the best is yet to come...keep us posted.
