I'm not a chick and in from Amarillo tx area. I was banded in April 2012 I'f u wanna swap stories I'm here

Damn don't u look sassy umum

Well just wanted to give an up date. I've lost 78 pounds in 9 months which is just great. I'm so happy and I know I'm looking a lot better as my Heath is also. I think I've got another 40 to 50 pounds to go but I feel I'm going to make it. To all u newbies its a hard confusing upsetting and frustrating journey. But u will make as long as u do as dr says. Good luck to all u banders we can do it.

Hi I'm 40 was banded in April started losing in june after first fill down 58 and feels great. Hoping to hit the 100 mark in June

I've lost a total of 60

Yes yes way to go I don't get any comments like that but I weighed this morning and down to 256. I'm wearing clothes that still had tags on them from Christmases from lords knows when. It's such a feeling to know u r shrinking clothes actually fit the way the r suppose to. My blood pressure that I can remember has never been in the 110/65 range and I feel great my goal picture is what I'm hoping to look like some day in near future

Thank u all I figured so just wanted to hear if anyone else has had this problem thanks

I have a simple question. If your sick with cold or flu where u have a bit of drainage does your amount of eats drop. Can being sick cause your band to tighten

I'm just an old dirty Texas oilfield worker

Well here's what I've come up with I too was banded in April got first fill in June and to date I've lost 50 pounds since June. I have figured out it don't matter how few calories u eat your going to lose what your body is going to lose if that makes since. I've ranged from 1200 down to 700 cals and I'm still losing slow. But that's ok cause at least I'm loosing. Don't get frustrated and just keep doing what your suppose to do and I think the weight WILL eventually come off. Look at it this way the slower u lose the less likely of flabby skin that's what I'm telling my self. Hang in there it's like the turtle and the hare and who won that race ???ƒ

Merry Christmas to all lap band people's out there hope u all have a great Christmas and hope everyone has another great year with the band

I'm new to this also but i'll give it a try did u get enough water daily I know if u get 90oz one day and then maybe a glass ul retain water could it be that. I'd have to say u might be retaining water. Give it s couple of days and weigh again. Have u been measuring if so how did that come out this week

B-52 I couldn't have said it any better this world needs more people like u god bless
