I'm going to this summer program in July and I'm getting banded on the 17th of this month, So I'm trying to lose at least 20-30 pounds before I go I've heard this is possible but with hard work, how much pounds did you lose in your first four months

Tomorrow is my 4 month anniversary of being banded and I have lost 60 lbs since my consultation, 49 since the surgery. A lot depends on how much you need to lose -- the bigger you are, the faster they fall (the pounds that is). So much will depend on your fills as well -- I am not exercising much and I was lucky to get real restriction with my 2nd fill so I've probably lost faster than quite a few people. Good luck and remember it's not a race.

I lost about 40lb in the first 4 months, about half my excess weight. The rest came off VERY slowly

I am 5 weeks post-op and have lost 22 lbs so far. I just had my first fill yesterday so I'm hoping to start losing a little quicker.
