Hi April bandsters! How is everyone doing? I'm happy to report 41 pounds down. I'm almost in the green zone. Recently started exercising and it's helping me lose nicely. So glad I did this!

Awesome!!

I am down 77 post-op. Things have been slowing down a bit as of late. I seem to lose right after a fill and then the scale doesn't move for two weeks. I have to admit I have not been exercising as much as I should be and I step on the scale way to often.

I was banded 4/16. My progress has been slow, but I know that is mostly my own doing. I am down 34 lbs since surgery. I have had 3 fills, but they are very conservative so I think I am only at 2.5 cc in a 10 cc band. I was supposed to have a fill yesterday, but pushed it back to the 20th cause feeling like I need to make some more changes personally than just relying on fills. Overall I am happy where things are at!

I was banded 4/20 and am down 41 pounds. Should be getting my elliptical soon so that should help speed things up. I go in next week for my 5th fill...I think that I am getting very close to the green zone...but in not sure. Dont really know how to tell. Congrats to everyone!! I think were all doing wonderful...

Well, chemo went as well as chemo could have gone. I was cleared as no signs of post chemo growth the 8th of August. I go back in December for another scan to check again. I was finally banded on aug 30th and am on week two of mushiness...and down 17 pounds! My first fill will be oct 15th! Yay!

I had lap band surgery on April 9th; down 37 pounds; have an AP Large Lap Band that can hold up to 14 cc's; after several fills, I am at 7 cc's --- still not in green zone; joining AnyTime Fitness has helped. I feel like I have done better with losing inches than pounds (odd?) the weight loss has been slower than I anticipated as I search for the ever allusive restriction; I should change my screen name to "TURTLE"

I was banded on 4/17 and I'm down 58 lbs, 10 BMI points and joined One-derland!

I have never felt this good!

I was banded 4/20 and am down 43 lbs. I have not been exercising much. I will be getting my elliptical in October. Can not wait to start. I had my 5th fill last thursday and I feel as does my dr, that I am close to the green zone but Im not 100% sure and she could not tell me. So I guess that we will see.

Congrats to everyone and good luck continuing on this wonderful life changing journey.

I was banded on April 5 and have to date lost 77 lbs. I have only had one fill (started off with 4ccs put in at surgery) and am now at 5ccs in a 10cc band. I don't exercise as regularly as I should, but am very strict on getting in all my protein and making sure I drink plenty of water. I'm hoping to be down 100 pounds by Christmas, which I think I can manage if I really focus on my exercise. Good luck to you all, and keep up the good work!!
