I was banded on____since then I have lost____!

I was banded on 9-10-10 since then I have lost 21 pounds.

Total since the start of my journey is 45 pounds! I am excited and nervous as some have lost a lot more, BUT I am so thankful I don't care how fast or slow I just care it is happening!!!

My second fill is tomorrow. A bit nervous about eating after, but I can do this :D

I was banded October 18, 2011 - they had me on South Beach prior to the banding - I lost 18 pounds on that; and have lost another 20 since the banding. I'm very excited. And congratulations to everyone else - keep up the good work.

From the start of my one week pre op diet, I am down 64.2#. I am down from 3XL scrubs, to a size large scrubs. I am down from (I think) a size 24 jeans to a size 12.

From my highest weight of 308 lb in like 2002, I have lost 125.6 #, that's a whole person! I looked back at a picture at my highest weight and was like WTF did I do to myself. Also a picture of me the day before starting my pre op diet, I wanted to vomit. I will never turn back. I feel 1000 times better about myself.

Banded on 08/25/11. I have dropped 50 pounds so far, 2 pants sizes, and now I've got to buy new unmentionables, they keep falling down.

great progress - keep it up!

Banded Aug 10, 2011. Down 30 lbs.

I was banded on 10/14/2011 since then I have lost 16 pounds. I am coming up on my second fill the 23 of Nov. I am excited because I am really not losing right now. I seem to be bouncing back and forth with two pounds, lol that always happens. Wish me luck folks!!

Everyone has done soo amazing!!! It is true though, don't worry if you don't lose at the same pace as others. This is to better our lives and health...allow it to happen!

Banded 5-19-2010....Lost 123.2 pounds since 5-1-2010 (pre-op diet)

I'm so grateful that I got Banded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUESTION, How do you guys get that tracker timeline on your profile??? Please give me step by step instructions since I am new at this thingy & not that computer savy lol thanks.

I was banded on Oct 10, 2010 and have lost 108 lbs..... my lap band was the best decision I have ever made :)

I was banded on November 2, 2011 and I've lost 15lbs so far!! I have 55lbs to go and I'll be home free! Yayyy!!

I was banded on 8/31/11 and I have lost 45 lbs.

I WAS BANDED AUG 31, 2011 AND IM DOWN 33 LBS! IVE HAD 2 FILLS SO FAR. IM PRETTY MUCH STUCK AT 33 LBS. WE SHALL SEE IF THE 3RD FILL MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE.

I was banded 10/03/11 and I'm down a total of 75lbs from when I started in August 2010. That includes losing weight prior to pre op, pre op, and now post op. No fills, still not hungry. I have to remind myself to eat and when I do, it is protein and low carb foods. Score!!!
