I had my realize band put in June 11, 2009. I have lost 54lbs. This seems slow to some with the lapband, however I am following all of the rules, I did not reach restriction until I have 7.5 cc's in my band. I have 9.5 now and continue to lose slowly...5 lbs a month. I began at 236 and weigh 182 now. I have 42 lbs to go to reach my goal of 140. By my current rate of losing I will be at goal by October. I am fine with that. Do not be discouraged like I was because EVERY ones body is different. Just do the very best that you can do, and realize that with hard work, and the help of the band, you will reach your goals.
