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?

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?

AngelWatch · 02-03-2008, 06:45 PM

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

slackaction · 02-03-2008, 07:25 PM

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.
