Haven't been on in a while but I was wondering what kind of rate of loss you guys were seeing from the date of your surgery til 6-12 months out. I'm doing the math and I'm only down 6.1 lbs/ month for my first 9 months post-surgery (though it is going faster now than ever). I'm probably up to 10 lbs. per month now but I'm far off of the 9-15 lbs./ month I was hoping to lose with the band.

82 pounds in 9 months is great! I lost 92 the first 9 months including 15 I lost pre-op. Sounds like you're right on track.

I'm down 83 pounds in 12 months, so I averaged 6.9 pounds per month. Today I go for my 1 year check up and I am soooo excited to be getting a fill today!

Congrats to all of you, hoping I am as successful.

At six month I was down 111 pounds and at 9 months I was down 130. Now I am on bonus time, I love my band!

wow Brenda, you are a rock star!!!

wow. Im 6 mts out and down 43 lbs. I have hit a plateau the last 2 mts. You know....loose 1 gain 1. Still love my band!!!

6 months 80lbs!

I am down 72 pounds in 11 months. My rate has been slower because I haven't been exercising regularly until recently and I wasn't careful about my food, but I'm still chugging along at the rate of about 5-6 pounds per month. Slow and steady wins the race, after all!
