I had my surgery March 26 and I have lost 25 lbs. I have had 3 fills (the last one on Friday) and am just now feeling significant restriction. I can tell the weight is going to start dropping off now...hopefully!

I had my lapband surgery March 12 and have only had 2 fills. I have lost 30 pounds since surgery.I can't contribute my weight loss to being "full" because I'm always hungry and don't have any restriction. I can still eat the same as I did before my surgery but I just choose not to. I have been working out a lot so I can honestly say so far I think I could have done this on my own without surgery but I'm looking forward to my 3rd fill. I'm hoping that I will have the restriction then so I don't feel hungry all the time. Congrats on you loss and keep it up.

I hope you guys all the luck I am 11 months out lost 30 lbs the first 6wks and. I have had 7 fills and still feel as I have never had a lap band. I am going to see my dr next week and hope to get the band out and try something else.

I had lap band surgery in Aug 07 I have lost 107lbs but have gained 20 of that back. I hadn't gotten a fill since June 08 but my first filled was exactly 2 months after surgery so I have had a total of 6 fills and I think that the more I went to get the fills the more weight I've lost. I am going next week to start the fills again so I can lose the 50lbs I really want to lose. Just hang in there, you plateau at times then weight will start dropping again

I have lost 31 pounds in three months. But I work hard for it. Journalling my eating and exercise. I am motivated because I paid a lot for the band! Good luck and remember everyone loses differently. Staying in touch with the clinic is very important to your success.
