Hey All,

I was banded on 3/21/11 in Salt Lake City, UT. I was wondering how much you had lost by your 6 month mark? I am down 37 pounds. I am wondering if that is normal or slow?

Everyone is different, but I had lost about 50 lbs. by the 6 month mark. But in the last 4 months I've only lost about 10! So you're neither fast nor slow, you're on your own time. The important thing is that those 37 pounds are GONE!!!!

73

Over 50Lbs.

Had mine on march 23rd this year..last friday was my 6month and i hit -70lbs exaclty on that day..i never thought i would lose half that much in just 6 months..another 70 in 6 more months, and im set at my ..

I had lost 85 at 6 months.

79 from pre op diet

I am at 5 mos

I had lost just over 50, but stalled out in last part of June due to an overfill............I think I just needed a break,(and my doctor's office said that it was OK -- the band is forever). I have lost about 6 more in the last 2 months --- ( almost 60 lbs in 8 months - PTL).

I have an appointment later this month for a fill to get me back on track. My last fill was in June. I thought I'd get aggressive and try to loose 20 more by Christmas. I am not even half way yet....but I feel no rush and am hoping the slow approach keeps my skin tight. (I am 48 years old).

I have a long journey, almost 150 lbs -- so I decided to take it slow and steady and enjoy the journey. I wish you a wonderful journey, too!

BTW - the thing below is inaccurate and i forgot PW to update.

I was banded 3/29/11 and I was 344 and today I am 278!! So i have lost 66 lbs.

I have lost 31 pds and would like to lose another 65 pds.

I'm 8 months post op and down 47 pounds. Scale didn't move much at all after the first month but I'm working out 4-5 days a week at the gym and clothes are falling off. Wish it were more but it's an amazing loss regardless. Congrats to all of you.

I started at 278 preop, was 260 the day of surgery, 6 mos is tomorrow and today I am at 198. So 62 lbs since surgery, 80 lbs overall. Actually 100 lbs since I really started trying to lose weight 2 years ago.

Woo Hoo ! !

I started at 278 preop, was 260 the day of surgery, 6 mos is tomorrow and today I am at 198. So 62 lbs since surgery, 80 lbs overall. Actually 100 lbs since I really started trying to lose weight 2 years ago.

When I started out I weighed 356. I had to diet for 12 m0nths, and I weighed 222 (if i remember, that was surgery date 10/31/2006)

After that,, I went down to 201. Then he overfilled me, and thought he blew the band.

So I ended up having to wait until this February to get it filled again.

I was up to 328 in January when I started on 1200 calories a day diet.

Last time I was weighed I was 243.

So this is my second time around, and I have a couple of pics posted if interested.

Once I get there Arrived ! I will never look back...

Nice Job Sister.
