Will have my 3rd fill this week. Boy, I can tell you I have had some good restrictions since the last fill 3 weeks ago. Down about 5 lbs since last fill which is good. My doctor says that I am doing great and wants me to keep up the good work. Lately, I have been craving a hot dog with everything on it but there's one problem, I can only eat about 2 bites, so its not worth it. I just stick to the more healthy stuff that is more nutritionist and healthy for me. I am still working out around...

I just found this site. My Band was filled in November 2007 and I have lost about 50 lbs. However, I now find that I am at a plateau. Any help successful banders can give me as to how to "jump-start" my losing again would be very much appreciated.
Hope to "talk" to you soon.

I was just banded on 8/29/08 and I have been doing really good and feeling great and then I started my cycle two days ago and I feel like crap. I feel so tired and have had more shoulder and chest pain and I haven't changed my diet. Has anyone else experienced this with their first cycle after being banded? I just hope I don't have to go thru this every month, I just want to crawl up in the bed and sleep all day. I couldn't even drink all my protein shake this morning. I hope this passes soon. Blahhhhhh!!!...

So I went for my one month check-up today and have lost 15 lbs. since my surgery date (8/26). That was a nice surprise! I thought I had lost only 12 lbs and was perfectly happy with that. I was supposed to have my first fill on Wednesday but he went ahead and gave me one today. I also found out that I had 5 cc's put in at the time of surgery and the PA added another 1 cc today.

I was so hungry by the time I left the office but am back to liquids for two days now. By Friday he said...
