I was banded on July 3rd and today I had my first post-op visit. Although I have a slight infection, which I am taking anti-biotics for. I stepped on the scales and I am down 51Lbs!!!

I almost fainted when I saw the scale stop a lot lower than I had expected. But I am a real big guy and have a bunch of weight to lose. Say so long to the 600s.

I am so happy I could just burst. I still feel a bit weepy over it.

That is so great!! So happy for you I was banded May 9...still have to do a double take @ the scale sometimes...good luck on your continued success!!

That's great for both of you.... I feel good about my decision when i hear things like this....Good luck and keep in touch.

51 lbs ??? !!!!! You're an animal bro!!! congratulations!!!!

Keep up the good work and keep us posted, that's amazing

oh kendric

that is such great news

Wow. Way to go! Keep up the good work.

Nice! Great Job! Keep it up!

Awesome! Keep up the great work.

Thanks all, I am still in shock over losing that much, I've never lost more than 20 lbs. on any diet....ever.

Plus, it might help that since the band I have like zero appetite, its weird.

That is amazing! I was banded July 5th & am down about 17 lbs!

it is awesome, post band...when you figure out that all those 'cravings' aren't necessarily an issue, as your appetite is pretty limited...it's great
