I was banded in AUG 2011.. so far only lost 39 lbs..I really would've preferred a larger weight loss. but... slow and steady I guess... Ialso work out three times per week. With the band though, you can basically eat anything.. which might get you in trouble..you have to change your way of life..regardless of which surgery you choose..GOOD LUCK! ]

Girls.....good luck! I was banded on 8/21/11.. so far..2 fills and still only have 4cc in my band (my doctor is very cautious) and I have lost 38 lbs!! Its slow and steady... kinda like what you would lose on weight watchers! so worth it...I am exercising 3 times a week though.. Good luck and keep me posted!!!
