I was banded March 29th and had my first post-op and fill yesterday. However, my doctor put a fill in during surgery so technically this is 2nd fill but first one I was awake for. haha!

When I weighed yesterday, I am down 22 pounds from when I came home from the hospital so I'm really happy with that. I want to be down 15 pounds before next fill. LOTS and LOTS of walking when I get home from work and jogging on the treadmill at home. I don't feel comfortable enough jogging outside...think people will think I have lost my mind trying to jog.

Since the first of the year though, I am down 55 pounds.

Keep up the great work...best birthday present I've ever gotten. (I was banded day after my 43rd birthday).

Good luck!:thumbup:

Wow! I was banded 3.12 and am down just 10 pounds. I've been flat with the loss since I went off the post op liquid diet and have had extra 1-2 pound drops post fills. I am getting my third fill tomorrow though and hoping to find restriction. Also need to work on getting in more exercise...

Great job! You guys are motivating.

I was banded 3/15 and had my first fill 4/14, with 3.5CC. I had a bad reaction (too tight I guess), and they emptied the band completely 4/17. I'm going to wait a few weeks to completely recover from it, as I became very weak and dehydrated, as well as allowing my giant fill-related bruise to heal. So far I've lost 41lbs (started at 319), and have over 100 still to go!

Banded 3/4/10 first fill 6ccs on 3/30 and 2nd fill 3 ccs yesterday 4/30. Have a 14cc band. I have lost a total of 22 lbs so far. Hoping this second fill gives me restriction. Keeping fingers and toes crossed!! Have 95 lbs more to lose!!

Holy crap! You go, girl! :laugh:

I'm down 31lbs and I'm stoked about that. I get my first fill on Friday...I think. I still have a bit of restriction and my surgeon does her fills under fluoro so I guess there's a chance I might not get one. We'll see!

That's AWSOME!!! I'm jealous :thumbup:!! LOL I have my first fill on Monday and really looking forward to it. I can't wait until I get to post on here that I'm down 50! Can't complain tho, I haven't gained anything:thumbup:!

Banded March 17, since my pre op diet 2 weeks before surgery, I am down 30 pounds. I have my first fill appt on Monday. Since I started the whole program, I am down 50. I was 280 last summer, and in a 22. I am now in a 16 or 18 depending on the pants. I am now fitting into some pants that I haven't worn in like 3 years! :thumbup:

Hey Everybody, I was banded on 3/15/10. I am down 23.5 pounds since pre-op. I too, will be glad when I can say I'm down 50lbs. I live for that day. I'm trying to set small goals as I go like the 20's by certain date the teens by a certain date, etc. It is great know I'm not alone.

I was banded on 3/1. As of today, I have lost 51 lbs. and I still haven't had a fill yet! When I went into my first monthly followup, I was averaging 4 lbs a week. My doctor was pleased and said that since I was still losing weight, he saw no reason to give me a fill yet. However, the loss is slowing down so I'm pretty sure I'll get my fill on my next appointment. Congrats to everyone on here! I'm glad to hear all the success stories. I'm happy with my weight loss, but I'm even happier with the way I feel. That's more important to me. Have a great day everyone!
