Was banded last May. I only lost 17 pounds. I never got the hang of the eating! I was ALWAYS hungry. I had all of the fluid removed from my band in February. Planning on having another child I had my BC implant (implanon) removed last week. Within three days I was questioning how I ever ate so much food! For the past three years I have just been eating everything in sight! Now I know I will be able to loose weight! I did it before lost 91 pounds in a year. Eating healthy and working out and since the implant was put in I couldn't do it! Sad about spending 10k on my surgery but excited about post pregnancy weight loss! Maybe I won't gain 60 pounds with the next baby!

I have my one month post op adjustment appointment next Tuesday. I am down 15.5 pounds but wondering if that will be enough or if they will be disappointed in my progress.... How much weight did you lose in the first month?

I am 9 days post-op (5-15-13 Surgery date). I also had the "What did I get myself into" mind set. I have to admit I still do...mainly when all the people around me are eating, but it has gotten easier, as I hope it will continue to do. So glad you are feeling better!

I am quite ashamed to even say this but I spent my 2 weeks pre-op eating everything in the world I could get my hands on!! All of the things (especially pasta) I am was afraid I couldn't have after (I didn't find this site before going in and had 3 weeks from the decision to even get the band to actual surgery). I was fine....No hernia nothing wrong with liver....and I was at 42 BMI.
