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.

Apparently not. Of the ten or so who've responded to this thread none have used diet drugs with their surgery.

However, my surgeon says he believes that eventually the protocol for lap-band will include diet drugs. (I couldn't tell whether this was his individual opinion or had broader basis.) I was only banded this past Monday, but intend to use Meridia and phentermine as needed - perhaps just because I already have a supply.

From what others have said it seems like there are long periods when the fill is not right and you don't feel restricted, therefore hungry. If you find the diet drugs effective, as I do, then maybe they'll help through these periods.

Anyway, it sounds like I may be about the only one trying diet drugs with the lapband - so I'll report on the experience.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

249, 10 months (havent lost any additional weight since this period), 25%, very little, 2 fills, #6 - maybe a total of 2 months during this time frame, cauc, 65 pounds lost in 10 months.

Scott,

Ive taken diet pills approximately three time now since banding. Im at a point where my fill doesnt help my appetite very often nor do I feel a big restriction. :couch2: sad to say this.

NancySmiles: "322 pounds, 12 months, 5%, 120 minutes, 2 fills, no diet drugs, Caucasian, 82 pounds lost".

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

297 pounds, 6 months, 90%, 60 minutes, 3 fills, no diet drugs, white, 77 pounds lost".

I don't exercise unless you count walking the mall 2-3 times a week. I'm a bargain shopper. And when I do drink it's just enough to moisten my mouth, not a full drink if that makes sense. I usually get my drink to go and drink it later.

Great thread-I look forward tothe responses. I think it demonstrates that people lose a lot of weight! But when the question of the % of excess weight lost, well it is not perfect. So maybe my question to myself is: Is the procedure worth it if I only lose half of my excess weight?

I shall ponder this-but I bet most of you probably say "Yes-siree!"

I will be 6 months post op on March 8th and will post my info in a couple of days, if that is ok. I am very excited about hearing the results. I hope you dont do the results yet.
