March Lapbander Here, Anyone else?

I had my lapband placed in March and things are going very slow. I lost 19 lbs so far and most of that was within 2 months post-op. However I am down to a size 16 which I haven't been able to wear for years. I changed doctors and I am now getting fills at a hospital closer to my home. I've had 2 fills so far and I know I need another in order to feel the effect of being fuller after meals right now I don't feel that way and I eat things that I shouldn't. It can be very discouraging at time to read this board and see how well others are doing but I tell myself that we are all different and the weight will come off when I am properly filled. I have to admit that I don't exercise like I should either so of course the weight isn't going to just fall off. I know how the RNY folks are doing that had the surgery in March but I am very much interested in how the lapband folks are doing?

STRUGGLING EVERY DAY!!!!!!! it is a SLOW process...but it IS coming off...i just posted something similar to this venting my frustrations...i think i need to just pay more attention when i eat...make better choices, and fight through this...i also have no restriction, so this is just torture!! hopefully things will kick in soon, and i'll start losing again. good luck and feel free to message me if you ever wanna chat!! jamie

Thank you. It's more of a struggle than I ever thought! You are looking pretty good in your photos! I am trying to be optimistic and I hope to be able to see the progress in my photos at least by my 1 year anniversary.

Ok, I am really late replying to this post. I haven't been to this forum in a while. Anyway, I hope my reply doesn't make you feel bad. I am down just over 70 lbs since March. I have had 3 fills and 1 unfill, I probably need another unfill but I am trying to work with my restriction even though it is just a bit too tight. I have a lot to lose, at least another 100 lbs and my weight loss has slowed down considerably lately.
