Hey, me too!

I am glad to have found all of you!!!!

I am having the same experience of loosing very slowly or not at all some weeks.

I thought I was doing something wrong since the other patients in my DR's office banded the same day as myself seem to be well "ahead" of me.

I keep telling myself it is not a race, as long as I get there and do not gain it is OK.
However, that does not change the fact that I get upset and discouraged.

Sometimes I feel like I am too conservative on the fills?
I am scared to be too tight since I travel from PA to Denver to see my doc and worry something will happen after I get home.
I do feel restricted and I eat healthy small meals 99% of the time.
Does any one feel this way?

Glad to know there are others out there that are going through the same thing

I am in my second year of the LAP-BAND®. I lost a total of 55 pounds and gained 20 back. Has this happened to anyone?

yes. this has happended to me. i was banded 10/19/06. to date i have lost a total of 30 lbs. and gained 10 lbs. i believe this is because i cheated during the holidays with food and no excercising. i am currently trying to get back on track. are you exercising?

Just start posting on the slow losers unite thread. We are all in this together.

Got to goal but maintenance was a
work in progress!

Band to sleeve revision surgery 4-29-09.
maintenance is so much less work!

I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I am finding tho I can eat more that I expected to be eating at this time.

I Agree With Angel I Can Eat More Than I Epected At Meal Time. How Many Cc Do U Have In Your Band?

I know it is less than four CC. I am not sure if it is more than 3. How about you?

I have the large vg band and i HAVE 8 OR 9 CC IN IT. NOT MUCH RESTRICTION EXCEPT IN THE MORNING, BUT THE EXERCISE HAS KEPT ME FROM GAINING LBS. I FLUCTUATE 5 TO 6 LBS A WEEK. GOING BACK FEB 13, FOR ANOTHER FILL.
