I was so excited to find this information! I have a call in to my doctor in Mexico because after 2 fills I am still gaining. I went from 285 to 238 in five months, started gaining weight, had a second fill, lost twelve and have gained 22 since then. I'm now back up to 252 and very disappointed, but it sounds like I just haven't found the right restriction yet. I'm making another appt. for a fill - hope the third time is a charm. I'm so glad I found you! Later.

What have you been eating? Are you following the band rules? That can make a huge difference between gaining and losing.

I'm trying to still stay within the guidelines, but it's hard when I got the lapband because I couldn't control my eating in the first place. For about two weeks after my fills, I feel restricted and can't eat even the 1/2 cup of food at meals and do lose weight, but then I become able to eat anything and it is a constant fight to not eat constantly. I don't know if I am just not restricted enough or maybe have a leak of the saline. I'm getting another fill next week and hope it helps. I'll talk to the doctor then too.

HeatherO You have done so well. I am fascinated with how you asked for agressive fills. I am afraid to ask for that. I have had one fill of 3.4cc. You mentioned eating right and I was wondering what you eat for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. NO grazing. I am impressed with you!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
