alot of posts on here of people who have not lost any weight after being banded. A couple after several months. How is this? Is there a different regiment the doctors are putting people on? Are those who are not losing not eating wrong? I just wonder. It worries me in a way I suppose.

I lost weight before my first fill, I think I originally lost 23 and then gained back a few. I had my first fill 10 weeks after surgery and I was 18 pounds lighter. I average 7-8 pounds lost per month. I eat right 95% of the time.

Like Jack said, Keep reading.... I dont recall seeing anyone that hasnt lost "any" weight after several months, most are pretty successful. Some dont lose as much or as fast, that is a fact. Many issues play into the rate of loss, metabolic problems being the greatest one. Many bandsters have thyroid problems, PCOS, Insulin Resistance, etc... The band just helps out.

I edited this to add: my 25 lbs in just over 4 months may not seem like a lot, but it almost an exact average of 1.5 lbs per week. I am not losing at the speed of lightening, but consider myself very successful. I am right on target with Inameds goal of 1-2 lbs per week.
