Wait... the Tuna's are a city now? Last I heard they were just a town.... Either way, welcome to the locker room... this place is great!

 Good lord yes. Only a City can hold that many of them. A town is just simply too small.

Welcome!  Sorry it took me so long to respond.   For me it took  5 fills and 6 months until I had good restriction.  During that time I only lost 35 pounds.  Once I did have the correct fill restriction I lost 80 pounds in the next 6 months.  It kicked in right before summer started which rocked.  For the first time in my life I could exercise and not be crazy hungry when done.  I now get a small fill every 1.5 to 2 months until I lose it all.  My plan is once I lose this last 60 pounds I will take out a little bit of fill and maintain my weight with the help of this awesome tool.    The band does work it just takes sometime to get there.  Good Luck and have patience. 

Brent,

Thanks for your reply. I was really getting disappointed. I read so much of banded folks losing weight from day 1. I lost good for a month post-op and then it just dropped to almost nothing. Since my last fill 10 days ago, I can finally feel it and am learning how to know when I go too far. Tonight was one of those experiences. Lesson learned about stringy veggies.
