I went to the doctor today and I've lost 11 lbs in the past 5 weeks. That puts me at a total loss of 32 lbs!! Can't believe it!! I'm so excited! My journey began June 28 th (the first day of my pre-op diet) and now 2 months later I'm celebrating 32 lbs gone!! That's the weight of my 2 year old....lol! Sooo excited to be on this new journey!!!

I love this website' date=' so many people I can relate to & it feels I'm not alone. Everyone's body is different so we are all going down different roads but I will meet you all on the skinny side :-)[/quote']

I absolutely love it too!!

Congrats to u..... I can't wait until I see numbers like that!!!! I'm so happy for you; I'm a new bander... I'm three days post op!!!!

That is great! I am sorta in the same situation. I was banded on July 9th and 7 weeks later, August 24th, I went to the surgeon for my first fill and he wouldn't do it. I had lost 28 pounds since surgery. So it was more like a bitter sweet. I was sad because I was looking forward to a fill, but then I was glad that I had lost too much weight since surgery. My next appointment is at the end of September and if I lost more than 10 pound then no fill but less than 10 pounds I can get a fill. So far I am down 6 pounds since my last visit. Looks like no fill for me at the end of the month.

Your doing really well then! I didn't loose all mine after surgery though, 14 lbs of it was on the pre-op diet. I was afraid my doc wouldn't give me a fill also, but he did. I just had my first fill and they put 2cc's in my 14cc band on Friday. I go back in 2 weeks for another fill and i continue that pattern until I feel some restriction.

I need to lose A LOT of weight, I hope they fill me up with 1,000,000,000cc!! Lmao!! I'm just joking, sense of humor over here.. hope Doc gives me whatever is best for me.
