Sounds like you need to give your doctor a call and let them know that you can still eat that much. Sounds like you didn't get much of a fill. I had a RNY Bypass but I am pretty sure that the lap band does work. The weight loss is just slower with the lap band. Sandi 2/28/08

Hi Barbara: I had surgery on 2/20/08. My procedure was a VSG. I am doing really well and have lost a total of 56 pounds, 34 of them since surgery. I noticed since I have started really exercising I am losing faster. Today is not a good day fo rme I ate some salad on Sunday and Monday and it has not agreed with my little stomach. I have had terrible stomach pains since last night, but it seems to be getting better. I really feel so much better than I did before surgery and am now off my insulin and blood pressure medication. The only medication I take now are my vitamins and antacid. My goal is to be down a 100lbs by June and if I have anything to do about it I will get there. Have agreat evening and good luck... regards Barbara

You are losing fast since your post and surgery you have lost on the average of a pound a day. That is not too shabby. Also keep in mind as you start exercising you will lose faster as you speed up yoour metabolism. I had surgery on the 20th of February and have not had any complications and to date have lost 56 pounds, 20 of it before surgery. Remember you did not gain the weight over night and it will not come off over night. As long as you are losing that is what counts. Good Luck and keep up the good work. Barbara

Well you know I think the working out is doing better for me now! I lost a whopping 3 more lbs. I was expecting more- but I think I will be patient and let it happen naturally. Hang in there as I'm doing.

I am fine, I have lost 30lbs but have not lost any weight in the last two weeks. I wonder if I am doing something wrong. I also had the gastric bypass. Barbara
