BAND UPDATE:
Well I was banded on the 22nd April 2013 and I started losing weight at the 9 week mark and I finally have restriction and band has started to work on my 4th fill! I never thought I would get there but it has kicked in ;-D
As the doctor kept telling me "everyone is different and we all want the weight to just fall off but it will happen when you have the right amount of fill" and she was right!!!! I'm on week 11 and I very much still in learning mode with food and limits but I'm learning fast!!!
Thanks to everyone on this site too for all the information you share as it is really so helpful through the lapband journey!!! ;-D

Thank you for your posts! I'm in Australia and its winter here but I have started walking in the mornings with my little dogs which I love!!! I think the full realisation of the band has set in, I guess I thought that the weight would just fall off! I read up on how much weight people loose and not the effort that it still takes!!! Thank you for your inspiring words!!:-)

I had my Surgery on the 22 of April 2013. I have always been over weight, the only fat kid in the family! I went for the Lapband as I have failed every diet on earth & it seems like I still am! I have 30-35kilos to loose and when I was on the pre-op diet I did loose about 5kilos and since then I have gone back up to my original start weight! I am writing down all the good I eat & yes there still is some bad choices on there but I guess I'm looking for anyone whom has started off on a bad foot and got through it and went on to loose weight! I made so many bad choices with my diet over the years I hope I can see a slimmer me in the future!!! I have had my second fill today and I'm yet to see if this will help yet, I know it's still early days but I'm 37 and wanting to start a family soon in the future and was wanting to loose this excess weight before we start a family!!! Helpful advise please!
