Hey Lisa, I was also banded by Dr Miles - May 2007. I have lost 85lbs so far. I'm 64yrs old & probably lose a little slower then a younger person. I have come from a 26 in pants to a 16 & 5x in top to xxl due to big arms. I hope you do well. I still occassionally over eat or not chew well & well, you know what happens. So good luck & keep on track. Barbara

Don't know about that; hoping for arms/ bat wings taken off. The wieght hurts my shoulder jpoints & upper back.

I've lost 85lbs over 4yrs, I think at my age (64) that that's pretty good. I've ran into some plateaus but my doctor says slow is good. Down from a size 26 to a 16; not bad IMO.

Questions relating to low bmi & protruding port
Barbara13 replied to TrishaLight's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
luluc, great size reduction. I'm down from a 26 to a 18/20. I came down from size 4x/5x shirts to l/xl. I have enjoyed the clothes down sizing almost as much as seeing the pounds leaving. BH -

Trisha, my banding was 06/12/07. I too cann feel my port. I still have my belly. I have lost 42lbs(slow go). But the way I look at it, I'm losing not gaining. I hate hitting the plateaus, they are trully bummers. BH -
Hey All, boy do I feel better. My last post I was worried about not losing and about beginning to eat. Lisa(practitiooner - Dr. Miles/Schmitt) says I probably increased my appetite since I have really increased my excersise. She gave me my fill of .5cc, I am back on the right road. No lose this time but I'm down inches.

Should i do proten for 3 meals to jump start me agin? I have moved from the B'ham area to east of Chattanooga, Tn. I haven't been to a support meeting in quit a while. I really need to find a grp close to here. If anyone has any suggestions on how to start losing agin please write. I am excersing (swimming) 3x wk. I just started a ti chi(spelled wrong) class. Thanks:crying:

Hello BB,
I hear your frustration. Without knowing what you are eating or how often you are eating it's hard to say what might be going wrong.
How big is your band and what size is your band? How much fill do you have in your band? Are you following up with your surgeon?
Let's schedule a complimentary coaching session to see if we can figure out what is going on. I know it's hard and frustrating, lets see if we can get this turned around for you.
Feel free to email me anytime.
((HUGS))

Cher, I am eating way too much. I can't seem to control it. I get full and then the minute I seem to have space I eat again. Help!!!!!!!!!! I was banded June 18, 2007. BB

Hey Ya'll, I moved close to Cleveland, Tn a few months ago. It's hard not to be close to my original support group in Birmingham, AL. Does anyone know of a support group near me? I'm willing to go to Cattanooga if I must. Barbara13
