No Weight Loss

Hi everyone! I haven't been able to lose anymore weight and I just had my 5th fill! Has anyone else had problems losing weight? I had my lad band in Feb 09 and lost a total of 27lbs is this normal? I know everyone is different, but any suggestions would be great. I also have been going to the gym 4 days a week for at least one hour....

Hey Robin  - I have no idea on the band - I am a RNY but I know the standard answers are going to be
A  compare your mesurments to see how much you have lost size wise and
B call your doc and make sure all is well with your band - that sounds low to me but like I said I am not a bander - there is a band board

5th fill since Feb 2009???  Try the lap band board... maybe they can give suggestions.  I'm an RNY'er myself... I know others that are a year out and have only had 3 fills so far.... that just sounds crazy to me.  Good Luck on this.

I'm sorry to hear you're having such a hard time.  Five fills in 4 months seems like an awful lot to me but I had an improperly placed band  and mine never worked right so I'm not the one to offer advise.  We have some VERY successful banders on this board (Kris and her hubby Chris) among others.  Hopefully one of them will chime in and give you some pointers and/or encouragement.  Hugs to you and hang in there.
