I was banded June of '07 and have lost 60 lbs. I still have 60 to go but am getting discouraged. Up until a few months ago I was getting excellent restriction. The restriciton started to "wear off" so I went in for a fill. :sad_smile:The last two fills I had haven't made much of a difference in my eating. I go again next week for a fill but I am already worried it will not work. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what did you do to get out of this rut?

maybe you need to be checked to see if you have a leak?

Your stomach eventually gets used to having the band around it. So, if you felt good restircion right after surgery, than your stomach had probably shrank a whole lot. I'm pretty sure if you had a leak, you would be getting sick. The liquid in your band will evaporate but not that fast. I have heard of people having 4 or 5 fills and still not having restriction. just stick to your meal plan and keep going until you hit your "sweat spot".

Girlie you have com e too far to turn back now. Keep up your hard work. It's hard but you are not alone :]
