So sorry to hear what an awful time you are having. I was banded 4th feb and have just this week had my first fil. I had started to put on a few pounds, but was told that was to be expected as the band was not yet working for me and could take two more fils before I get good restriction to start losing weight properly. It is a little disheartening but hang on in there I'm sure you will be fine. Food wise I could do with a little help there too if anyone has any idea's ! Keep your chin up Kee X

its usual for first fills to be tiny i think its to make sure all ok my second fill was my biggest. alot of people put weight on till they have a degree of restriction so dont panick you dont have restriction yet keep positive babe it will get better.
as to your totm problem i was recommended to get a mirena coil because mine went up the spout its the weightloss it affects the hormones but it will settle

Hi I was thinking about you just before I came on here, how weird is that??? Anyway I'm sorry things are a bit sh*tty at the minute and I hope your 2nd fill gives you the restriction you're ready for. Take care Kee and hope to see you posting a bit more. xx Gaynor xx

Remember hun that a lot of people don't get there first fill until 8 weeks. I am sure after your next fill you will really start to see the difference.
