The surgeons geo pages render breadcrumbs narrowest-first by design, so core's came out reversed. */}} {{/* Canonical and Open Graph fallbacks. An empty jsonLd on a rendered front page means buildMetaTags() never ran, which is how Output::error() renders. Treating that as "do not add a canonical" fails safe: the worst case is a page without a canonical, which is where we started. */}} Skip to content

    You are doing great! Don't get discouraged. I was at about the same pace as you and then things started going a bit faster. I had my surgery February 2011 and was down 100 lbs the day after Thanksgiving. Just keep at it.

    It gets better! I think my third fill was when I finally felt it. Stay strong and keep watching what you eat!

    It varies so much person to person. I have 6.25 in my band and seem to do fine. At my work there are 7 of us wit realize bands ans the amounts vary from 5cc to 10.5. Kinda crazy. Just be patient. The first few are frustrating. I think it was my third fill I really felt it.

    Hello! Just found this app and I'm so excited. I got "banded" February 11 2011 and am down 118 pounds! By far one of the best decisions I have ever made. I started out size 20/22 and am down to 8/10. Love reading all the success stories and stories of people starting their journey. It's not easy, but don't lose hope!

    When I had mine in 2011 it was 3 months. A girl at work just got it and they had changed back to 6 months. I have heard it is supposed to be dropping back down though. Just give them a call.
