I too was banded in aug of 09, and I too am down only 40 pounds. I know we can do this, and yes, It is hard work. but I would still like to lose another 30lbs. mybe this time next year(if I dont give in) will be where I want to be. I have an apron fold at my lower belly and I would like to have that removed in a couple of months. the doc wants me to be at my goal weight first, so I guess it'll take a little longer to be removed. hit me back soon!!

Hi Friend, Are you ok? I hope all is well. My weight again is very,very slow. But I dont think that Im alone. I have lost 40 pounds now and its nearly been a year. Thats ok, I would have been 40lbs plus if I had not had my band. I just have to not give up and I hope you dont either. If you have had trouble with your band let me know. I keep getting this pain on my left side near the port. I;ve been told that its a strained muscle but I dont know how I keep doing it. I feel it under my rib at times when taking a deep breath. Im eager to hear from you. bigmama3974@yahoo.com

Hi, I'm checking in with my mutual friends to see how they're coming along. I'm doing ok, just a little slow about getting to my goal. I had a fill today and the doc said that I am doing ok with the slow loss. It's been 11 months now. let me hear from you

Hey girl WHATS GOING ON? let me hear from you. You've been my motivater and I need you. AKA Ebonymc

Hey Brina, how long have you bwwn banded, and how much have you lost? keep it up. holla back at me!

Hi and welcome. I didnt tell my co-woekers either. the women on my job hate on others who have WLS so I didnt tell them. It is a lot of hard work just as they told me it would be. but although it's been nearly 7 months and I've only lost 35 lbs, I still dont regret having my band because I coulnd't have done that much without it. Im starting to slowly lose again. keep me updated.........Later

Hi, I read your post and congrats on your one year weight loss. You've done great. I can only hope that I can come as close when I reach one year. can u give me some helpful ideas? so you've joined weight watchers too? thats a good idea. write me back .I would like your support.

Hi, I read your post and it gave me some inspiration. I was banded right at 5 months ago and has only lost right at 30 lbs. I know that I can eat a lot of food still, but I try to stop myself from overeating. I've had 3 fills and I still dont get full after eating anything. Please let me know some of the things you did to lose so much. I know that everything I eat is not all healthy but I dont want this to be a flop. I love my band too. Yes, It has helped me. I was hoping that I could lose more than 30 lbs in 5 months. let me know what to eat and what not to eat. I do plan to start over with my fitness program but I thought that by having this done, I would get full after eating but I dont. Let me know how you did it.....Thanks

Im glad to hear that everything went ok. sounds like you"re moving along a lot faster than I did. I was on liquids for 4 weeks and moved right into eating regular foods. Take care and we will talk soon!

hi, how long have you been banded? why are you decreasing the width of your band. what types of problems are you having? I may need to do the same. I'll find out whats going on in two weeks. get back to me!

glad you popped in on me. Im doing ok. I got in about an hr ago from bowling. I've had a tiring day too. I deal with one perticular female hater and she kinda got to me today. Im losing weight and she is trying hard not to let me outdo her. she doesn't know my secret, but she suspects. she is walking miles every day, working out every day, and water arobics twice a week and I havent seen any weight loss. she says to me, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE GETTING SMALLER AND SMALLER. and I say umm, it must be inches. I've only lost about 32 lbs. what will happen when I lose 50 lbs. she's going to hate on me for sure. talk to you later!

Hi, Its been a while since hearing from you. How are things going? they're going pretty slowly for me right now. Let me know how things are going for you good or bad. Hope to hear from you soon!

Im pissed about my weight loss too! I had 2 fills and you're right, I also lost steadily before getting fills. Since I've gotten fills, I've only lost 3-4 lbs in 6 weeks. I plan to start to exercise more and longer,eat less, and drink more water.....We'll see

hi, thanks for responding to my plateau question. and to get a ticker, go to tickerfactory.com and go thru the promps. then it will give you a code, use the bb code. highlight it, cut and paste it into your edit signature avitar page. you will find it on the left of your screen once you click on your private message link. If you find a better way, let me know

Hi, I doing ok. Losing a little slowly but not too bad. How about you? Yes, Let's keep in touch from time to time. I'll holla at you later

Hi Tracy, I used to live in the DC area. I've been banded for 10 weeks now. I"ve had one fill and will have another fill this week. Hopefully this one will give me more restriction, I'm able to eat too much right now thus slowing down my weight loss. Let me know when you're banded

Have you been banded yet? Let me hear fron you

Hi, I am also a Teachers Assistant . I've been banded for 11 wks Yesterday. Have you been banded yet? Let me know how you"re do. It gets better

How have you been? It's been a while since we last had a chat. My weight has been the same now for 4 weeks but hopefully it will soon change. Holla back at me!!!

How have you been doing? It's been a while since we chatted. My weight is still at a stand still but hopefully that will change soon. Let me hear from you. Later!

welcome, banded 9 weeks ago and doing ok

Hi, just checking to see if you have gotten over that plateu yet. I am still at a stand still. No loss, no gain either. it's frustrating. At the support meeting, I was told that I am where I am suppose to be after being banded only 8 weeks (at that time) it will be 10 weeks tomorrow hmmm. I just have to be patient. Have you experienced any other problems since banding? let me know how its going.
