Where are you losing first?

I am new to this and was banded 1/7/10. So far people notice the weight loss in my legs most. Havent lost a ton of weight just yet. Only about 10lbs since surgery date and about 20 overall since pre-op phase. Can't wait to see this belly go down. Sheesh!!

I am losing every where but my belly. I see a Tummy Tuck in my future also. I think if my belly was gone I would wear a size or even two smaller. Anyone else with that problem?

Yup my tummy seems to be the last to go :rolleyes2: but maybe 30 more pounds it will be bone...who knows!

I'm so glad this thread was started!

I am definitely an apple. I have lost about 33 lb and so far it's noticable in my face/neck, and my shoulders and boobs. Maybe my thighs, too. But my belly.....AACK. I've always said I'd never get rid of the stomach...and I probably won't. If the middle would go down some, I would be in the next size down. But it's slow-going losing the spare tires.

I saw someone on here mentioned using the ab lounge. I have one but have been afraid to us it.

Do you guys think it is okay to use. I am afraid something will come loose.

The ab lounge does target, on me at least, that lower stomach that is so hard to get.

Pickles, I'm the one that uses the ab lounge. I also asked my surgeon if it was okay and he said it was no problem. If it gets sore, just ease off and stop for a bit. I was banded in October and started using this last month with no issues. It really does work the belly though. I am determined to get rid of this poof!!! LOL

Thanks Juliansmon: That is good to know. The ab lounge sounds like it is just another one of those exercise things; but it is one that worked for me pre lab band. I was really surprised it worked on the lower abdominal area. I could do 100 sit ups and it never touched that area.

Thanks for the help. I think I will try it.

I'm pear shaped as well. I've lost in my face, neck shoulders, stomach, and my precious butt. I'm not losing in my hips and thighs (where I need to the most).
