still not losing after 4 fills

bump

Melissa,
You are so welcome.  My last fill was in April.  My weightloss has slowed to less than a pound a month.  I need a fill to lose my last 15 lbs but I'd have to pay for it and that would be an expensive 15 lbs.  So... I'm trying to do it the old fashion way.  I eat very healthy.  I do have a little restriction. 

Good luck & Happy Holidays!!
Rachel

We are all somehow in a waiting game...I guess it is normal with the band. I am fortunate to have lost during the holidays and not gain. My weekly weigh in is tomorrow. So far, each week has been a small loss, 1lb or less. I am optimistic that my fill on the 29th will give me the restriction that i have been looking for. In the mean time, discomfort only occurs when i eat too fast, or don't chew too well. It is the worst pain in the world, but it only lasts about 1-3 minutes. I started exercising about 3 weeks ago. I was given an elliptical for christmas. I have not missed one day of working out, and i do 30 minutes a day. I think this is helping the weight loss as well, even though it is slow and steady. Hope we can still keep each other updated.


Rachel, you are so close to goal!! Congrats! The last 10-15lbs are always the hardest, slow and steady if the way to go at this point.

Hi all,  I also am glad that I am not the only one.  I think I have 6.5 in my band.  I say I think because I told my surgeon that I don't think I had as much as they are telling me, there are 2 drs in the office where I go and the one seems to have trouble, so I ask the "good" one to check.  They pulled all out and said I was off one cc.  He put it all back in but do not think he gave me the last cc he was going to.  I have an appt on the 31st and am going to find out then.  I can eat like a horse.  Now and then food gets stuck. I hope it gets straightened out on the 31th.  I have been having troulbe with pain in my feet, back, you name it....I have it so i cannot exercise, not to mention I don'****ch my food in take like I should.  I hope everyone is doing good and have a very nice Holiday Season!!!

I would like to know how everyone is doing now. I notice a lot of people have not posted this year. I am struggling and would like to talk with someone about their experience to see if you can help me along the way.
Thanks
Sabrina
