I had surgery November 2014. I'm down 18 lbs, and counting. For the first few months after surgery I didn't lose (I gained back some of my pre-surgery loss too). I was very relieved to read on these boards that this is normal. It took me time to get my band adjusted, and once it was I started losing 0.5 lbs/week and I am thrilled (some weeks I lose 1.5 lbs, some weeks I gain 0.5 lbs, some weeks I stay the same but it averages to 0.5 down each week over time). I would love to lose faster but I eat so many foods I love (in small quantities) that I'd rather eat what I want and lose slow than try and be stricter and lose faster.

My whole life I struggled to lose any weight, and even when I tried I often ended up gaining, so this consistent loss over time is wonderful.

I hope this post helps people who are starting out or losing slow!

Surgery was June 2011, lost 100+ Lbs.....it doesn't get any better than this....

Finished with diets and concerns about loosing or gaining weight....

A whole new way of living has opened up....Socially, mentally, excellent health, and yes, financially...

Best decision I could have done for myself.

Surgery Date 1/15/13

Starting Weight 198.8

current weight 125

Love my Band - No more diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure.

No complications no problems. I am not on a diet for the first time in 25 years. Love having the ability to walk , swim, ride my horse and travel. Buying clothes is fun again. Best decision I have ever made .

Lap Band March 2014. Lost 104 so far. I want to lose about fifty more. My constant hunger is gone and I can walk away from delicious food after a moderate amount. Nothing short of amazing.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
