Original Post

From what I've been able to determine, factors that predict weight loss by banders may include drinking with meals, exercise, follow-up care (fills), use of diet drugs, race, and starting weight. I believe we can get a statistically valid analysis based on our collective experience. (Actually, your collective experience since I'm being banded next Monday)

We'll be looking at the first 12 months you were banded, or some number of months between 6 and 12 if you have not been banded for a full 12 months.

If you would like to participate, and have been banded for at least six months, then respond to this thread with:

1. Weight when banded (in pounds, if you'd rather not disclose then reply via private email to me)

2. Study duration (between 6 and 12 months)

3. Percentage of meals where you drank during the meal or within 1 hour after the meal

4. Average minutes per week you exercised during the study period

5. Number of fills you received during the study period

6. Regularly used diet drugs during your study period (yes/no)?

7. Race (race showed as a significant success factor in the initial FDA trials for lap-band surgery, leave blank if you object to testing this factor)

8. Weight loss during the study period (in pounds)

The reply format should be "315 pounds, 12 months, 25%, 60 minutes, 7 fills, no diet drugs, hispanic, 65 pounds lost".

Provided we get enough responses, I will perform the analysis and provide statistics and graphs showing how these factors correlate with weight loss among forum members.

Gosh, I would have thought psychological and personality factors would have been WAY too influential for physical data like that to have any real meaning?

I think its more down to the determination of the person in question and their ability to make and stick with the lifestyle changes required.

Sorry, that's not a criticism, just food for thought.

Psychology/personality certainly has a major influence in how much we exercise, in how well we comply with instructions on drinking with meals, in whether we get regular fills, etc. At the same time, these are all things we can control. I will work much harder on not drinking, on exercise, and on getting regular fills if these things prove to be highly correlated with weight loss success.

Hey Scott, I was banded by Dr. Hansen. He's great! Vivienne does my fills now, though. She does a great job and really cares. Anyhow, Dr. H. told me that the #1 reason where he sees people not succeeding like they should is because of drinking with meals. Interesting observation. I personally don't think it's difficult if you drink your Water in between meals, though I couldn't have imagined NOT drinking with meals before I got banded. Just though I'd share...

428lbs, 12 months, 5%, 60 min, 4 fills, none, hispanic, 132lbs lost

Of course the numbers don't tell the full story. I had lost my first 120lbs on just 2 fills (the 2nd fill lasted me 7 months). I've since plateaued the last 2 months and have been struggling to find the right fill level since I've lost so much weight so quickly and will be going in for a fill today to hopefully get me to good restriction again.

The poll was changed to drinking with meals or sooner than 1 hour after, so I am adjusting my original post:

303 pounds, 12 months, rarely to never drank with a meal - 5% of the time I drank sooner than 1 hour after eating, 30 minutes of exercise a week (tops), 4 fills, no diet drugs, caucasian, 81 pounds lost.

I think most of us have only been told to wait 1 hour after eating before drinking. I think it is most important to not drink with meals, as you are constantly washing food from the pouch while you're eating, making room for more. Drinking too soon after eating is supposed to make you hungry faster, but waiting an hour to drink seemed to work for me.

Did your insurance pay for the removal of your band?

I was self pay and wonder what would happen if that happened to me. Will you do the lap band again? Are you glad you did it?

I'm really curious to see how many people drink with meals. I know I'm not supposed to.. but I never have followed that rule. Maybe thats why I haven't had as much success as I'd like. :paranoid

1. Weight when banded 240

2. Study duration 12 months

3. Percentage of meals where you drank during the meal or within 2 hours after the meal 100%

4. Average minutes per week you exercised during the study period 200

5. Number of fills you received during the study period 2

6. Regularly used diet drugs during your study period (yes/no)? no

7. Race Caucasian

8. Weight loss during the study period (in pounds) 60

Hi Scott, I think I met you at one of Dr. Alldredge's support groups this month or last! Here are my stats:

307 starting weight / 10 months since surgery / 20% meals where Water was drank within one hour after or during the meal / 300 minutes average exercise per week / 12 fills / did not use diet drugs / Anglo / 60 pounds lost during initial 10 months.

Can't wait to see your results! Best, Brad

PS - ate ice cream at least once a week! More often on a bad one!

Man! This is a great thread! I am not banded yet and it just reinforces to me the need to not drink with meals or within 1 hour after eating and to exercise as much as possible! Can't wait til I can contribute to a thread like this. I will probably bebanded sometime in April or May this year!

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
