I am 7 weeks out and I was losing well at first and now I am at a stand still... I had a fill last week and I feel no different and my weightloss still is stalled... I believe I am eating right and I am going to the gym for 2 hours 5 times a week.... :-( Is this bandster hell and will my weight loss start going again?

Often, it takes several fills to reach restriction. Chances are this fill is not going to affect you. I would make another fill appointment as soon as your Dr allows. This is indeed bandster hell, but you are nearing the end of it!!!:whoo:

Thanks for the reply.

I have a fill already scheduled for Nov 23rd... That was the soonest they could get me in... (not too far away) I was just hoping to continue losing...

I found that I lost week 1-3 post op and then stalled. Week 6 I got a fill and started loosing again. I think it also depends upon the size of your fill too. I had 1cc put in a 4cc band and am definately restricted.

Weird. I am 7 weeks out, Got a 1CC fill in the AP standard (not sure the size I am assuming 10cc since it already had 3cc) Maybe it takes a couple weeks for some to feel the fill?

Wow, you sound just like me, I was banded 8/29/07 and lost 15 lbs the first 2 weeks(of course only having liquids will do that to you) then nothing. so I went for a fill of 1cc in my 3.5 cc band 1 month post op, then lost another 5 lbs. Then..... NOTHING!!!!!!! I am so frustrated, I exercise 90 minutes daily for 5 days out of the week, and watch what I eat. So I will have another fill in 2 days, I hope it works. I know I am doing OK.... but I want to do better. Wish me Luck, and good luck to you all too. Aloha
