MandyrHart!

That's wonderful I have always ended up with men skinnier haha. My husband is 6"6 and 150 pounds wet. Just banded in Dec started 5"2 224 pounds. Lost 18 so far hoping he will gain some and hopefully I'll get to my goal of 140 to 145 haha. Congrats

I was banded 12/10 down 18 pounds as of last week. Feeling good first fill on the 9th. Started off at 224. Can't wait almost under 200...

I was banded December 10th. On my one week check up I had lost 13 pounds. I get my first fill the 9th. I don't feel swollen so I haven't had problems with any kinds of food though. Will that feeling return once I start with my fills.I definitely don't eat like before but I just don't wasn't sure.

I returned to work a week after surgery. I think it depends on what you do for a living. I'm a pharmacy technician so I found problems with my energy level. I also had problems bending to pull meds or get a prescription since my port area is still swollen. Good luck

I here that everyone is different and every loses differently. I have 4 members plus me ( I recently have been banded). All of my family has had success some faster than others but the lowest amount of weight is 60. I see how my family eats and no one does everything perfect. I don't expect to be perfect. I also know the band is the slowest way to loose. I am here for support as I am newly banded but have seen the transformation of my family. For each person it took a different fill number for the weight loss to begin. Also a different cc to start losing. I will continue to stay positive.

I was banded 12/10 I went for follow up on thursday .. I've lost 13 pounds. So weird I am bloated especially near my port but feel less bloated... I have always been puffy looking and I think its been water weight. I can tell the weight change in my face. My first fill is 1/9 excited. I know the weight will be harder but every pound is well worth it.

I'm ready for my stomach to go down swollen and around the port is the worst.

Everything will be great:)

Everything will be great:)

I am a new bander since December 10th let's get it on...we can do it Double chin go away... [ATTACH]38574[/ATTACH]

I also was banded 12/10. I am doing okay gas pain was horrible. My incisions are improving. The one that is really swollen and itchy is near my port. Should I be alarmed by any of this. Thank you everyone!?

I am newly banded and am still young. I am 25 and newly wed. I am full of life so much of y'all are helping me day to day. I am not only working to be healthier weight wise but healthier to become a mother on my own a couple years from now. Due to my conditions I have because of weight and poor choice of eating I can finally see a new exciting chapter for me.
