I was banned on 1-24-2012. I have lost 36 lbs since I started. 10 lbs the first two weeks after I got the band. No pain and no hunger at all. I eat because I must not because I have to. I'm a diabetic and my numbers have been great. I must admit month before I had this done my diabetes doctor put me on Victoza (look it up).. My hunger went away even before the Lap-bad. I lost 12 lbs in 14 days just by taking this. I'm still on it so I think I'm getting a double whammy. What ever the reason Life is good and I haven felt this good in 20 years. My high weight last year was 278 I know weight 235.

My goal weight is 180.

Hey my starting weight was the same, and I was banded the same week as you. congrats on your weight loss, thats phenomenal! I'd lost 14 pounds at my 1 week follow up but im not sure how much I've lost since, I dont own a scale! Not anything close to your losses im sure! Keep up the great work!
