I too was banded on 12/20/08 and down 90 pds with NO FILLS. I was so glad to see that I am not the only one with NO FILLS. I am and have always been very comfortable with no fills and did not want to mess up what is going so well. I feel fantastic and there are several other people that were banded by Dr. Atkinson in Las Vegas that have had no fills with losing over 100 pds also. I feel very fortunate to be in this position with not having to play around with getting filled/unfilled repeatedly. My main focus has been controlling the mind hunger and portions and I do still fight the head demons when I get idle on weekends that rain or cannot get outside to do yard work. I thank God every day for the band and what it has done for me. Congrats to everybody on here that is doing well and for the ones that are not, you will get on the right track too, sometimes it takes a little longer for some people to figure this out.

Congrats!! You're doing awesome. I too have had no fills; 112lbs down. Good job!!

Hey Brian...thanks for the story! I feel encouraged hearing what you said. I am 6'2, 340 as of yesterday (the day I received my band). I really want to be around the 200 pound mark in a year. I keep seeing people talk about minimal weight loss so far and it's made me nervous. I want instant results of course. lol. Can you tell me what you've done to be so successful? Congrats and thank you again!!!!

Steven

Right on!!! that is amazing...

CONGRATS!!!

I thank GOD for your sucess as well. Congratulations!

I can't wait to be banded!

Congratulations! That is wonderful news! Love to see these great success stories, they are great motivators.

I was just banded 3/2 and I have not had a fill yet. I am going in 4/12 for my first fill and I feel like I need it even though I have lost 20 lbs already. Did you guys ever have one fill and than never needed another one? or you just never had any fills since the band was put in?

Couldnt of said it better myself

That is so awesome - Way to GO!!! I am so excited to hear of all of you who have done this with no fills. I have a very very conservative doctor. I was banded on 2/7/11 and he won't even see me again until the middle of May and then will determine whether i need a fill or not. I have been very very worried about that, but now see that it is possible to lose without a fill. Thanks so much for sharing - i feel much more confident now.

AWESOME!! Way to go that is absolutly amazing!!

Great Job to all of you, I am so inspired by reading your success stories!

Thank u guys so much im so glad i could help i wish for nothing but the best for those who chose to get the band

Wow! you and lovinglife have done amazing things. I hope that this will be the turnaround you make for yourselves throughout life. Loving, I know that as a young man this will change your future. People will look at you differently, and supervisors will look at you as a go getter not a s a "fat" kid. Good luck to both of you! Form an "old lady". Karen
