Is the Lap Band just a placebo?

Hello,

I am just starting to wonder if this whole thing is a fraud. I am at my second fill. I have lost 63 pounds since 09/09/09 I don't feel that a single pound is from the lap band. I am still fighting my hunger. The weight I have lost has been from calorie counting and going to the gym 7 days a week. I have been burning around 565 calories a day at the gym. When I did this before the surgery I lost more weight that this in the past. I gained it back and that's why I had the surgery. Ia asking you guys if I made a huge mistake? Do I just feel like this because I don't know what restriction is yet? Please help? I seek the truth.

Thank You in advance,

Gary

I had my 3rd fill yesterday. I finally feel uncomfortable if i eat too quickly, drink too quickly or eat certain things. I'm at 8cc in an 11 cc band. Hope it lasts this time. It will come, i felt like you.
