  1. I had my surgery on Sept 13, 2010. It was the lap band. I started my weight loss at 307 and was 287 at the time of my surgery. As of Sept. 6,2011 I have only lost 45 pounds total...I have a 11cc band and at my last fill in August my total in my band was 9 3/4 cc....I do have problems with food getting stuck. I have only been losing a pound or two here and there and regaining it so the dr had me do a metabolic rate and I found out that I only burn 1510 calories....which the dr said means that my metabolism is low...I am considering a surgery reversal and am totally fustrated with my band. If anyone can help me get back on track I would be so grateful...Thank you for the advise.
  2. I had my lap band surgery on Sept. 13th and have only lost 7 pounds so far. My doctor says that is fine and that you should only lose 1-2 pounds a week. So I would say your doing great! The weight didn't come on over night so it won't go over nite.....keep thinking positive.
  3. September 13th was my LAP-BAND® procedure....current weight is 280.... Weight last Christmas was 307....Have only lost 7 pounds since surgery date....but I am able to eat soft foods already and am having a problem with head hunger and actually being hungry.:biggrin:
