I was banded in November 2007 and immendiately lost 25 pounds before I had my first fill. I have had 3 fills and have lost a total of 34 pounds. It is a bit frustrating but I know it was the right decision and as much as would like to see it just fall off I know it needs to be a slow process. The one thing I have experienced also is that my neighbors, both the husband and wife, had gastric bypass and I see their immediate results (Husband 110 pounds and wife 95 pounds) and they had their procedure only 2 months ahead of me. You just have to remain focused on your goals and drive forward. Drink your water and walk,walk,walk and walk.

Ashlee, congratulations to you and I know you will get along great. Bdavis

Just got banded on November 14th and have lost 23 pounds so far. I feel great and am sleeping much better. My blood pressure is under control (126/78 at last check up). I had 23 staples and I have just gotten them removed. I had some trouble at first and had some doubts about what I have did but now I realize that it saved my life. Eating different will be a BIG adjustment for me because I have never given any thought to what I was doing and now I realize just how stupid I was. I look forward to losing more weight and enjoying time with my family.:clap2::clap2::clap2:
