HI I just thought we could check in with one another and see how everyone is doing. 5 months post op and things are still going well but I feel like the losing is much slower these days.

I think my weight loss is on par but would love to hear from others to see where you are. How is everyone doing?

I had my surgery at the end of July, but thought I'd chime in. I'm 6 months out and have lost 70 pounds. I'm losing slower too, but every two weeks or so I drop a few more pounds -as long as I'm still losing.

Are you excited about wearing spring clothes?

I was banded 8/25/09. I have only lost 34 lbs and I have to admit I haven't been trying hard enough. I had a second fill about 4 weeks ago and do feel full but the old head hunger is still a problem. I have been told that people really start to see weight come off at the 6 month mark. I don't know if it is because they finally reach their sweet spots but that is what I'm hoping.

I was banded on 8/19/09 and have lost 38 lbs. I had my 5th fill last week and feel like I'm really at my sweet spot now. I'm hoping to see more weight come off and not have to go for another fill for sometime. I do exercise 4-5 days each week which has helped. I've also lost 2 pant sizes which has been wonderful.

It is great to see how others are doing who have been banded for about the same amount of time.

I was banded 8/24/09 - weight loss is slowing down a bit, too, lately (lost 10 pounds during December, tho but am still so very happy I did this. I feel great and have been getting tons of compliments, which motivates me to exercise more, eat wiser!
