I saw your blog about getting discouraged. I just want to let you know that I am in the same boat. I was banded on Oct. 26 and I have only lost about 20-25 lbs. My doctor told me that if a "healthy" person loses 30lbs in the first year. You have meet the expectation. Healthy meaning overweight but no major healthy conditions. So don't give up, your doing great and your not alone
When I'm feeling down, I try to remind myself not to compare myself to anyone else because everyone is different! ~Kelly

Hello! I was just wondering when you got the band??? I got mine on Oct 26th and have only lost about 20-25 lbs.

Dr. Shore is my doctor and I absolutely adore her. She has been amazing especially the day of my surgery. How is everyone doing, seeing most of you are probably 1 yr out??
-
he said that 30% of bands will fail. And i fell into that. Idk why but i just can;t get tight enough to do anything. So instead of wasting another year. were converting and i found a thread on another website and this happens sooo much. I wish i would have known about this last year and i would have just had the bypass done. If you dont count your calories and carbs and fat and all that then your going to gain and not loose what you want. And i didn't do that. Hopefully you will have better luck them me!

Oh no...I'm so..sorry to hear that. No way around it, that plain sucks! Did he say why it's a failure??
-
thank you!! i actually went to the dr yesterday and he said my band is considered a failure. He thinks i should convert to a gastric bypass. So i go back in 2 weeks to give my answer. Im worried about it. but I think im gonna have it done.

Awww...you poor thing. I feel your frustration. I'm only 3months out but I just had my 3rd fill and still don't feel restriction. and I'm only down 18lbs. It definitely is alot harder than I thought it was going to be. But I just remind myself that without the band, I would of never lost what I have. Keep your chin up hun, you are not alone and we are all here for your support when you need us. Btw...I think you look amazing and are very pretty

yea im exercising, it wasnt as often during the holidays and my gym was 20 mins away but i just decided to sign up for the more expensive gym that is down the street so i will go more haha! i try to def do 4 times a week but it depends how my week goes...im sure ur losing the inches but 17lbs is something to be proud of girl!
keep it up and keep me updated! -
Awesome...Congrats, you are doing so..well
And look great. I completely agree with the restriction part and watching what I eat. Head hungry is just plain evil. have you been working out?? With the holidays, it's been harder to get there but I've been going at least 3 times a week. Now, that they are over I'm going to up it to 4-5 days. As of last week, I was only down 17lbs but I think I'm losing inches. Either way, I'll take it -
good the fill wasnt as bad as i was thinking. I am going back jan 25th for my 2nd fill, i def need more, i have minimal restriction but i just try and watch what goes in my mouth and how much. i def cant eat like i used to be able to without feeling sick but i need a lil more. When i went 3 weeks ago i was down a total of 32 and im waiting till i go again to weigh myself!
