Getting so depressed...

Hi everyone... two weeks after my first fill 1.6, I was back to eating just as much as before my original surgery. After speaking with the fill doctors nurse, she told me that I would have to pay all over for another fill, plus drive the 2 hours to get there. I've been gaining weight, and feel terrible. I'm in the middle of moving, and just can't take the time and money to go back to this doctor. I was told that it could be a few fills before I'm adjusted just right, but 2 weeks after?? Already?? Any advise? I'm losing all hope, and am starting to regret this surgery.

Hi...I'd like to suggest you post also to the lap band forum here at obesityhelp - it's a very active and friendly board and I'm sure you'll get a lot of responses to your questions. You can find it by clicking the forums tab up top and then choose Lap Band from the Surgery Types Forums list. Best of luck in your endeavors! And you are MOST welcome to continue posting on the mainboard as well - just that you'll find more of those with your surgery type on the other forum. (((HUGS))) ~Tooter OH Staff

My mom is a year out now, and she STILL can't reach that "sweet spot" of having the perfect amount filled. When she gets a fill, it seems okay for a couple of days, but then it's right back to normal for her. She lost some, gained some, lost some...she really hasn't made much headway in her weight battle. She now regrets not having the RNY. I don't have any advice for you, but I wanted you to know that you're not alone in your struggle. Pamela
