Hey everyone! I'm glad I read your threads! I've been trying to find people in the same situation as me. I was banded in January and so far I've lost 48 lbs. I started with a BMI of 37, 213lbs. Everyone looses weight differently. I was at a stable wt. for 2-3 weeks. I have to say that after my 3rd fill the wt. really came off. I've lost 10lbs in 2 weeks. As long as you stay active and have your fills every 6 wks or so, you shouldn't have a problem. I wouldn't say that it takes longer for lower BMI person, I hope to get to my goal of 125-130lbs by the end of the year. I think it's possible. Good luck!

That is so exciting that you got approved!! I remember when I was approved, I was histarical!! Anyway I was banded in January with a BMI of 37, 2 comorbidities, and family history. It seems we have a similar story, I've already lost 48 lbs, I'm halfway there!! It'll be rough at first but you won't regret it.

This is new for me. I don't personally know anyone who has this surgery and I'm looking for people to relate to. Has anyone been banded with a staring BMI under 40? My BMI was 37. So if anyone has any questions about that, I'll be happy to answer.

Hi, Im having some issues with getting in enough Protein. I'm 4 mo. out, should i still be taking in Protein Shakes? I still feel like i am not eating enough, though i am not hungery. Does anyone have an example of what they normally eat in a day and how often. Maybe I should be writing my intake down? Also does anyone have issues with swallowing pills?
