I am going through the same thing!!! It makes me really happy to see I'm not alone. I lost 20 lbs in the first 2 weeks and then ever since I stopped liquids I've only lost about 2 or 3 lbs in the following 2 weeks. I've definitely heard that once I get a fill it gets better so I just have to hold on til mine on Sept 11

Thanks for all the tips guys, my first fill is sept 11 and I can't wait!

how long has it taken you guys to loose weight? I'm out 3.5 weeks and im down about 20 lbs but thats only about 12 lbs after surgery... I was loosing so much on the liquid diet and it slowed so much once I moved to mushies...9lbs on liquid and only 3 on mushies so far did anyone else have that problem?

I was banded August 6th so it's been about 3 and a half weeks and im down 20 lbs :-) not terribly impressive but I'm still proud and I can't wait to get my first fill!

yeah definitely, ive gotten the "young" thing too but my mom and i both decided it was best for me I am an active person, but I will admit ive had trouble just making sure I only eat what is needed and not going over that really... so this procedure was meant to help me just maintain a healthy lifestyle and be able to be more active i dunno some people still might not agree with me getting it, but i think for me it was a great choice personally

I'm only 18 and I just got my band last week I was just wondering if there was anyone around my age 18-25ish who has gotten the band and how the experience has been for them?

I had doctor fegalman who does surgery through the Jewish Hospital in kenwood, oh and its a few days later and im already down more to 262! 8 lbs in only a week :-)

So I took the gauze off from my surgery yesterday and there is an obvious bump from where the port is.... I was thinking it was because althought i am very overweight i dont have that much fat around my ribs and thats where the doctor placed it ... also I know the doctor told me he had to place it higher because I was younger and haven't had kids or something like that... but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if it goes down some or anything?

I just found out about this site after I had been banded on monday! Before everything I weighed 280... pre op I got down to 271 and Right now only 3 days after surgery im down another 4 lbs and im at 267 This is really exciting! I'm healing fine, I can still feel myself recovering and not being as energetic as before surgery, but im slowly making my way back towards normal activity.
