My surgery was 12/3/09 I was 264, and today I am at 224.

40 lbs !! happy but alot of pain with the fills had to fills first time was 2cc, and now 1cc, and had 3 in so 6cc in a 10cc band.

Dont fill full, and no problems with any foods yet.

But I dont want to go through the pain any more with my fills, he does numb but doesn't help when you get stuck 9-10 times to get the port.

Don't know what to do. Mary :redface:

I was banded Dec 3rd and have lost 21 pounds. I feel like I should have lost more by now. I had my second fill one wk ago and have little restriction. Just wondering how everyone banded in December are doing. Would love to hear from you.

Hi I was banded in Mexico on Decc. 2 and have lost 22 lbs. so far. I had my first fill on Jan. 19 of 2CC in an 11CC band. I feel some restriction and have gotten stuck a few times but that was my own fault for not chewing. I would also like to see more of a weight loss and I am hoping that after my next fill I will hit the sweet spot. I am still very optimistic and I make better food choices [most of the time] due to being banded and trying to help the band do its job. I really do enjoy and feel inspired by this forum which I like to call Band of Brothers This includes you ladies of course. Tell me more about this Easter Challenge.:frown:

I was banded 12/16/09 and have lost 23 pounds so far. I am starting my exercise program today, have not done any yet. So far so good, yes periods screwed up but that is normal after surgery. Need to find more things to eat..eating the same thing over and over. Live alone so do not like to cook for one but need some ideas...

Click directly on the ticker. You should have been required to save a Pin #. It should be four digits. A new window will open and ask for the pin. Once you enter the pin you can change information, and save. I usually go to my signature and resave it there too. Don't know if that's necessary but it works for me. Best wishes and hope this helps!

Thanks! I missed this being posted, lol.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
