Had my surgery 10-26-16. Started @ 401.1 2weeks prior. Went on liquid diet before surgery and lost 17 pounds. Am now down 42 pounds and very happy with the results. I have been very compliant food-wise and started PT to get back on the road to exercise. Feeling sooo good!

TOTALLY worth it! As stated previously, if you work with the band as a TOOL, work on the way you think about food and exercise, you can do this. I was banded Nov. 07 and lost 100 pounds by the end of 2008. I'm 54 and this is doable. Good luck!!!

I am 53 years old and was banded November 19, 2007. I have lost 80 pounds but am not moving past that. I exercise regularly (5-6 days/week) and eat a very healthy diet. I've done really well but have about another 120-130 pounds to take off. The weight loss was moving really fast at first but now I'm stuck. If anyone can offer any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks very much. Lisa

I don't know how to do all the little weight trackers and icon things so I'll start out simple and maybe I'll get it after awhile. Congrats to all of you out there!!

Hi-my bad-I noticed it was over right after I clicked to send the reply. I would definitely like to go to the new thread-see you there and thank you!!!

Just had my 3rd fill-6cc's. Doc tells me this is an 18cc band. I'm feeling really different after this last fill (yesterday). I don't know if this is fullness or hunger but my stomach is making all kinds of growling noises-who knows? I feel very good about the band though-I've lost 59 pounds since my surgery 11-19. lisawach

Hey crispy! Haven't talked to you in awhile. You sound like you're doing really well. I saw that your fill was 4cc's. I only got 2 but I have noticed a difference. I can eat but not a whole lot. I sure was glad to get off the clears and have solid food again-weren't you?? I'm still being careful about what I eat and how much. After all this I've finally decided to TOTALLY change my outlook-I finally feel like there's hope after all. You hang in there...you're doing great!!...and it's really nice to "talk" to you again...good luck girl!!! Lisa

Hi- Very happy to be a nymph! I was banded on the 19th, first fill was 1-3 and I'm down 36 pounds as of this morning. YOU GUYS ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION! Thanks to all for your support. Lisa

Hi- How much saline for your 2nd fill? I just had my first-2cc's. I could eat a pretty good amount but I'm watching myself and really not eating all that much-lots of Protein and that keeps me pretty full. The dr. also said he didn't want me eating more than an ounce at a time and not at all if I'm not hungry but I can certainly down more than an ounce! I'm also real sore where my doc stuck me for the fill-is that normal? He did it day before yesterday and I must say, it's pretty ouchy still. It's nice having everyone to go through this with! Lisa

Indigogirl- Your words are so true and so inspirational! I was banded on 11-19, have lost 36 pounds, just had my first fill 1-3 and am doing great! I was surprised that I didn't feel a whole lot different but I do get full easier. I am making good food choices and exercising regularly. I'm working on the head And the body-I feel so much better already. Thanks for a great message and good luck to all of us!! Lisa

Hi crispy-I was banded the 19th also and have had absolutely NO problems-I lost 25 lbs. at my last Dr. visit on the 6th so I'm happy. I haven't had the "full" feeling some people talk about but I'm not starving either-I'm just happy to have had this done at this point. Good luck to all of us!
