I am post lapband 3 weeks now with Dr Wright at the Nix and have gained 2 lbs since banding. Eating right, no problems with eating foods. Getting 600-700 calories a day and climbing. But no weight loss. Cannot fit into my close anymore due to stomach.

@@Carmac Take it slow...during the first few weeks after surgery it's normal to gain a few pounds. Right now you are not at an optimal fill level and once you reach that you will start to see/feel things change.

Give it time and don't give up, keep following the Dr.'s guidelines as far as eating and what you should be eating at this time and have faith you will get there.

Your body is still healing. Give it time to adjust you will start losing but remember you will do much better once you've had some fills Congrats and best wishes!

I see dr wright. I stayed at my same weight for 3 weeks. I lost inches! It wasn't until after my first fill that I dropped slowly.. About a pound a week. I'm happy about that. Be patient... I think Allison the PA stated he typically puts 4cc at time of surgery . That wasn't much restriction for me. I'm at 5.5 now and see improvement.

I have gained almost all my weight back I wish I had just waited and done the sleeve. The band has been a complete waste of money for me.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
