I am getting banded on Novmeber 30th(pending approval) and wanted to hear from other Nov 2005 banders!

Down 112 since November 17th!

I'm OBESE!!!! I'm Obese!!!

Not morbid, not severe, just obese! Only 33 lbs to Overweight!

I started with a BMI of 48.9, I am now a 34.2!

Hooah!

Sounds like you need another fill girl! Get your butt to the Dr. and get one:)

You will get there!

Ok, I am sounding like a big baby right now:cry . I have lost 38 lbs as of Nov 7th when I was banded. At first I was really excited but right now I am so mad and sad I want to cry. I am always hungry and my band does not stop me from eating. I don't feel full and I hate it. I know this is a slow process but sometimes I feel like I will never reach goal. Have you felt this way? If so how did you handle it? I need some encouragement. I am at 2 cc's and have only lost 3 lbs since my last fill which was 1 month and half ago. Please help!

I am doing great, feeling great, looking great. I have lost 61 lbs since November 9th!

I got a GREAT fill last month I believe... and the weight is steadily dropping. I am walking and just feeling SUPER! I am in a wedding in September, so I would LOVE to lose at least 50 more by then. I will do it!!!

Keep up the great work guys!!!

Much love!

Yeah - I was banded on November 18, 2005 with the wonderful, kind Dr. Ortiz - have lost about 15 total (about 7 since first fill) and am starting to love my band - I would like to have more weight off but it's the first time in my life I have hope that I can be a normal eater/thin person for life. I also met three other women having surgery the same day that are now my 'band sisters' as well as many other people (here too) that have come into my life because of the band. November 2005 bandsters rock - we are almost at 6 months - just think where we'll be in a year!

I am down 32 since Nov. 30th.

I have lost 60 lbs since november 9, 2005 I am very happy, feel much better,and am looking forward to more loss!

:clap2: Congratulations to all of my fellow November 2005 bandsters!! Can you believe that it is already our 6 mo bandiversary?! I've lost 65 lbs so far & I am feeling great! My weight loss has stalled over these past 2 weeks, so I will be going in soon for another fill. Best wishes everyone :gluck:

I will wait and update of the 16th but everyone's numbers look better than mine. Congrats on that but know that I'm a bit jealous. Time to head to the gym and work my ass off the next 2 weeks.

Hello Peter,

I was also banded the 15th of November. I am also at 2.8cc. I have lost 61 pounds so far. I have also come to a stand still. It's been about 3 weeks since I have lost any weight. I am losing inches though. I am going for another fill on the 22nd of this month. I am just going to get a little one so that I don't get too restricted. Hang in there. The exercise will work also.

How is the weather in Australia? It is going to be 78 degrees here today. We have been getting alot of storms here. I don't live too far from tornado alley so I keep up with the weather.. Well, Have a great day and I wish you all the luck with your weightloss!!

Deanna:)
