I'm bursting with happiness & have to share that I am now officially overweight!!! You know those annoying height/weight/BMI standards??? Up until my official weigh in today I have still been in the obese range....despite losing over 110 lbs! Well, today a total loss of 117 lbs (so far) has finally bumped me down to being merely overweight. I assure you no female has ever been this happy to be overweight LOL

I had lost 176 pre banding, and lost another 24 pounds the first month after surgery. I have not weighed since my last doctors appointment but I don't fell like I have lost much this month, but I will know next week when I go in for my second fill.

You all are doing amazing! I just had a baby six weeks ago and lost all the weight I gained during pregnancy (75 pounds) but I still have about 30-40 to lose. I have been banded. for 7 years but haven't had much success over all because I never did what I was supposed to do. Now I am following all the rules from my Dr. (no drinking when eating is the main one).

Thank you :-) I didn't really go on a diet but was just stressed out and depressed because my baby was in Nicu, ...stepped on the scale yesterday and was shocked. I weighed 265 pounds the day before I had my baby...in about a month I weigh 197. Less than I did when I got pregnant and I didn't even try to lose it!!

I got to bring her home when she was 2 weeks old :-) she is doing great :-)

Same here!! I had my band in 2007...but I honestly never applied myself or tried. I lost about 45 lbs in 2 years ..then I had a baby in 2009, had another fill, lost all my baby weight fast but still around 200 lbs. I haven't had a fill since 2009. Currently 9 months pregnant and in pain. Having pain in left rib area and port is sticking out. I am so scared my band is ruined and ill have to get it removed or something crazy. I have my baby tomorrow and I am determined to use not abuse my band this time! no more babies for me as I'm getting my tubes tied during my csection! I have forgotten most everything I learned after surgery but I ordered the big lap band book to help and I love this site. very encouraging! Is it hard to get back on the wagon after so long being off?
