    Does Banding Work if you're over 50?

    I had my lapband when I was 55 years old. I have lost 117 lbs. I did put back a few lbs but I'm going back to eating the way I did at the beginning. So in the last 6 weeks I lost 5 lbs. I have had many hard time the last few years. I loss my husband very suddening. He was my whole support system. I exercise 3 to 4 times a week. I'm having my knee replaced in about 3 weeks. I did so much damage to my knee there was no going back. The band does work after 50 but it also work on your part. IF you are doing this for you it will work but if you are doing it for someone else I don't think it will work. This is your time and make some time for yourself. You deserve it.

  8. I got banded 09/07/07. I never even asked what size band I had until about 3 months after surgery. I ask the doctor and was informed I had a 10cc band. I never asked how much I had in my band. About 3 weeks ago I had a fill. It was to tight so back to the doctor to have some removed. That is when I found out I had 8cc in a 10 cc band. Now I have 7 but I know know that 8cc is to much and 7cc is to little. I going in 3 weeks so I will ask for .2cc and go from there.

    Lap Band Fills / Adjustment Info

    I just had my 6th fill. Had my surgery 9/07. Had some problems after the surgery .My large incision opened up 5 weeks after surgery and took about 5 weeks to heal. So I did not have my first fill until 3 months out. I go to the doctor office about every 6 weeks. Every other time I get a fill. They have a very hard time doing so because of the scar tissue. So far I have lose 83 lbs. Has this ever happen to anyone else

  12. Hi everybody, i had lap band surgery a year ago and have lost about 90 lbs so far off my 373 lb original frame. Just recently started water therapy which so far is working out well. Go daily. Interested in how others in my catagory are doing. No appreciable problems. Love the lap band. Een at my age and size it was and is just wonderful. Still find myself adjusting my lifestyle or habits and learning things regularly about all this. What a blessing this would have been for me fifty years ago. I am not loosing fast, but think it will speed up now that i have found water therapy.

MY doctors said I'm doing great but sometimes I wonder. I asked the doctor what they expected me to loss and he told me altogether 191 lb that would make me 113. MY granddaugther had a fit. she said don't they know you are 57 and had 3 kids and I would weight less than her and she wears a 3. I don't think they had size 3 when I was young
