I know everyone loses at a different pace but I'm still curious to know how fast or slow everyone is losing.... I'm 3 months post op and only down 23 lbs most of which I lost on my pre op diet.... Since my third fill two days ago I've FINALLY felt some restriction!

Appreciate the feed back and thanks for sharing!!

I am eight weeks and two fills in. The first fill didn't make a difference. I'm feeling restriction with the second one but just got it. So we'll see. I've lost 28 pounds. My doctor says no more than a pound or two a week is good.

I am just about 4 weeks post op and the last time that I weighed in, at 2 weeks, I was down 18 pounds. According to my scale at home I was down 25lbs today but I don't go by anything but the scale at my Dr's office. Next time I go is 4/3, for my first fill.

Did the drs specify how long it should take to lose the majority of the weight?

I have 100 lbs to lose : / I wish I could fast forward to my goal weight .....

well e verybodys different. i ve been banded 3 months also, down 25 lbs, with 5 lbs of that pre-op im thrilled with 25 lbs and so is my dr. i do an hard Water fitness class 3x a week, walk some, and try to eat healthy, but still have my struggles. i had about 10 days of restriction after my 3rd fill, then it went away, so i have a 4th fill next monday. when i did have restriction the weight really started coming off ! hopefully you'll start losing more soon, but you're doing great so far ! Stick with it ! good luck !!

I was banded 2 1/2 yrs ago and lost pretty slowly. The first 4to mths I loast nothing till my 3rddr fill. Then I started dropping 7-8 lbs a mth. In 1the yr I had lost 75 lbs. The 2nd year I lost an additional 28 lbs for a total of 103. The last few mths I've gained a out 6to lbs back but I realized what im doing and ill take the 6first off plus the last couple lbs 8a have to goal of 135.

Good luck to u. PSN I don't have alot of saggy skin because I lost so slowly. Its worth it if u have patience

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
