I'm a July 2009 Bandster. I've done well and am now in a size 10 (my goal size). I am going to set up a fill appointment because the last 2 weeks I've been getting way too hungry shortly after I eat. It wouldn't be a bad idea to check in with my surgeon's office anyway because I have not been there in 10 months or so. I lost the first 100 pounds in 1 year and have been coasting since. Life is good.

Not doing so well.....I have lost 70 lbs so far but hoped I would have lost 100+ by know. I blame no one but myself. I slacked off on my exercise and started eating things I shouldn't have. I plan to get on track this month and get me a personal trainer. I recently had a fill and it really gives me the restriction I need. I have lost 6 lbs since my fill on 3/25 so far.

Lovelyaskanbe, 70 is fantastic! I used to think the same way, but believe me when I tell you that when you start thinking differently you will FEEL so much better!

I'm down 70 too and for awhile u was very down on myself.i also did not exercise afdc close to how I should have.....

but think of it this way...until your surgery, when was the last time you were able to lose a big amount of weight and KEEP IT OFF? also, we're so much healthier now!

i've actually had 2 unfills now...the first one nkot by choice and the second one BY CHOICE.....i know my body and my band beyer than ever...

I hope that with this new fill you get added success!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
