Are you getting filled in TJ? If so, I will be there to get banded! I hope it goes well with your fill!!

No I will be in St. Petersburg, Florida for my fill. If I don't do well with this one, I am going to try to do the next one in TJ.

I was banded on April 5, 2010. My weight at banding was 225lbs. I am almost 5 mos. out and have only lost 15lbs. I am trying to follow the guidelines. I feel that I am eating properly, yet I am not seeing a great deal of weight loss. I have had two fills I am now at 7cc's. I do feel some restriction, more at times, but I teeter back and forth With 2 to 3lbs gain and loss. I am scheduled for another fill September 3rd. Does anyone have any suggestions to speed up my weight loss.

I was banded on 5/6/10. I lost a total of 18 pounds, my first fill was June 4, 2010, I occasionally feel slight restriction, but have only lost an additional 5 pounds. I am scheduled for a fill on July 13. I am becoming discouraged with the weight loss.

Today is my 6th day post op. Feeling great, a little sore. Wonderful experience at OCC. Beginning weight 227lbs. PRE-OP DIET 222.5lbs. Today 218 lbs. Total weight loss 9lbs.
