I am new to the forum, but not lap-band. I am one of the people who has had a rough first year. I had two fills and very little weight loss up to then. I had a third fill, which was an overfill and was miserable for several months. I was throwing up all the time, had heartburn and terrible pain. I know what you must all think, why not go back to your Dr. right away? I had surgery in Mexico, great Doc too, just moved from CA, to OR and had the worst time finding a Doc to see me; especially having had it done in MX. Anyhow, I finally did and he took out .4 CC's. I have since joined Watchers (just to keep me honest and eating healthy) and am down a total of 30lbs. It's not much compared to many others here, but hey I am under 195 now so........better than a kick in the pants!

Keep up the good work! I know it's especially hard to stay motivated if the weight loss isn't stellar... so you're doing great.

Did you find Weight Watchers helped you get back on track? I'm seriously thinking of doing that.

Definitely! It helps you make better choices and our benefit is, we get full quicker than someone not banded. I do much better with the point system and have lost 10 pounds in about three weeks!
