I was banded on 02/01/08. I lost about 20lbs fairly quick. But I have not lost a single pound in about 2 weeks. And now that my pain has gone away, I don't feel a whole lot differant than I did before the surgery. I am dieting because I know that I need to. But I also feel like if I wanted to be bad, I could physically clean out the Shoney's buffet!! My doctor did not put any saline in my band during surgery so I am hoping that I am just needing a fill. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I am so discouraged. I am so scared that just like every other diet I have tried, I am going to get burnt out on this as well, and then all this was for nothing. Please help!!

I have been out of the loop for some time now. Had first appointment to try and start lap band surgery process but found out I was pregnant. Needless to say, I skipped the appointment. Does anyone know if there have been any new revelations with blue cross/blue shield of Alabama covering this surgery. My polocy will cover gastric bypass but not lap band. That it so crazy.
