May 2010; 112lbs or so with 12 more to go. I didn't really have any comorbidities, just my BMI was above 40 though I do think I had sleep apnea as I always woke up with headaches/migraines and I was always tired; that's gone now! But, I can now exercise for hours on end, run to no end, go up stairs within feeling winded, wear size 4 jeans, wear 4 inch heels with NO problems...and so on.

I welcome the opportunity to brag lol. I was banded Nov. 16 09. I lost 107 pounds in 10 months. I had high blood pressure, diebeties and high cholesteral. They are all gone now, no meds for any of them. That was probably the most exciting thing that happened. Well that, and fitting into some size 0 clothes- who would have thought.

Size 0 clothes, and 4 inch heels? U guys are my heros! Just 2 months out and seeing some results, but looking forward to getting to that point, thanks for the positives

Since surgery, I'm averaging out at about 1 lb or less per week. I was taking a long acting insulin the morning and one with each meal. As of December, I'm diet controlled. However, that's not just due to losing weight. It's because I eat less than 30gm of carb per day and it's all in the form of vegies. No wheat products, no gluten, no grains, no potatoes, etc.

sleep apnea is gone, joint and muscle aches gone (attributed to the change in diet, not necessarily the weight). General overall health is improved. All lab work in normal ranges.

October 6th, 2010, I have lost 55 lbs so far...40 lbs to go. I didn't have any issues besides sleep apnea...that's all gone.

I have been banded 9 weeks and have lost 30 pounds. Energy level is up. Down three medications including Blood Pressure and GERD! One more medication to go.....

Feeling good!

Banded October the 6th ( 158 days ago ) and lost 53lbs so far... no more diabetes pills... more vitamins though

Banded feb10,2011. Down 37 lbs and off all meds. (blood pressure and diabetes) and dh says I hardly snore any more. Hoping to lose about 70-80 more! Already buying new smaller clothes and able to walk 2-3 miles without exhaustion. Thanks for the brag opportunity!

i was banded on jan 20th,and have lost 30lbs so far.as far as i can tell,my sleep apnea has gone away,as i am sleeping through the nite now.

I was banded Jan 10th, 2011. Since I began this journey I have lost 26 lbs. Its been slow to lose the weight, but my body has certainly changed. I no longer have to take any insulin and my last A1C test last week was 6.0, officially in the normal, non diabetic range! Issues I use to have with intimacy and ED are GONE! My wife commented to me this morning that if I never lost another pound that we would be able to consider this lifestyle change a success. It has not been easy by any means, but it is definately been well worth it to have done this. Never give up or give in to the demons inside of you!

Hello,

I was banded in April 2009. The first year I lost 107 pounds. In total I have lost 116 pounds. My high blood pressure is gone and I no longer take meds. Also, my hypothyroidism is gone. I feel great and have a great deal of energy to spare. I can no longer sit still and watch television with all the energy I have.

I was banded on 10/25/10...I lost 15lbs leading up to the surgery & 56lbs since for a 71lb total. I have gone from a tight size 24W to a comfy 16W. I a still on my BP & Cholesterol meds but my #'s have improved. I have about 65-70 more lbs to go so my doctors don't want to remove my meds too quickly. My knees used to kill me daily, now I don't give them a second thought, even when taking a 2 mile walk

Great to hear everyone success stories, you're all doing awesome!!
