Hi! I am 6 weeks post lap band surgery. Sort of had a difficult time as my boyfriend of 22 years died unexpectedly four days after the surgery. I just got tightened for the second time last Thursday and it is now Tuesday and I can eat just about anything I want. Have an appointment next Tuesday for another fill. Getting a little discouraged as I have paid $8,000.00 and didn't expect it to be a "quick fix" but didn't think I would have to diet like I have for 30 years. Anyway, I am hoping that after next Tuesday things will improve.

Have a nice day.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Ladeday.

As far as the fills, it often takes a few to start getting good restriction. It depends on how much fill your doctor gives you, and how your body responds to the band. Please don't get discouraged.

so sorry for your loss.. please hang in there im sure it will start to come off.. they did tell me if you suffer from stress or a loss or anything it can have an effect on the band..
