Have you been eating protein only? Or maybe eating too much or too many times during the day? You are supposed to eat only protein (about 2 ounces) and only eat 3 times daily. I just received my fill last week and I am only 3 months and 1 week out. Lynda

It is a little hard to understand what you are saying. What do you mean by "tide the band yet" and you are wondering if that is why you have not lost anything yet? From my understanding many doctors do not give a fill until about 30 days out. Because if they gave you restriction from when you have surgery it will be too tight and will close off the opening into the pouch and you would not get anything - solids or liquids down. Your new pouch area swells after the band is placed and sewn into place. Once you have had your first fill you should eventually start loosing.

Most surgeons give the first fill at weeks and additional fills are about 4 weeks apart. Once you are adjusted to the proper spot, you will see excellent results.
