I'm getting a little worried here guys...

So, today I am having a bad day. My car got broken into last night, I'm

exhausted and my weight loss has been at a stand still. So, I got

on LBT to get encouraged and I have read so many discouriaging things! I was banded 12/7/10 and have lost 17 pounds. Not great, but a success just the same. I get my first fill Monday and I am ready! I need tro hear some success stories! I have read the words "I just wasted 15,000 dollars" too many times today. Somebody, please tell me a success story! I need it! :(

  • Well..... this should be encouraging. Got banded in 2005. Lost 120lb - first 90 within a year, another 10 over the folliowing year (then 20lb last year due to illness). Maintained a great BMI of 2

  • There are plenty of people here who will be happy to extoll the virtues of the Lap band, and share their success with you. But, don't be afraid of reading the negative stuff, either. You can lear

    I haven't read any of the replies - but you need a kick in the butt - 17 lbs in a months time is EXCELLENT... It's been 3.6 yrs since I was banded - I didn't get my 1st fill till like 9 weeks after

It's been 3.6 yrs since I was banded - I didn't get my 1st fill till like 9 weeks after surgery - and I think I lost like 20 lbs in that time - don't remember for sure - heck some weeks I would only lose 1/2 lbs - but you know what in 11 months 1 week I lost 105 lbs and got to a normal bmi - remember it didn't come on over night - you aren't going to lose it over night...

You have lost 17lbs in a little over a month ???? sounds good to me.. . . . . I was banded on April 9th of 2010 and i'm down 81 lbs. . . . Success ?? I'm thinkin YEAH !!!! :rolleyes:
