I'm a guy about an hour northeast of DFW.Commerce Tx.Feel free to lean on me a bit.Ive had my 10cc realize band for about 2years.I lost a lot of weight for the first year.Then in January of 2012 I had a fill to 6.5.I was complacent up to fri October 12.Then I went in for another fill.im sitting on 7.5cc right now.I do work out and I lift heavy.So I don't know if my weight gain could be attributed to that.I feel good and my friends say I still look good or even better.So this has been my life changer and story.I think this last fill will hopefully put in my sweet spot.By no means am I an authority on this.Still practicing to get it right

Congrats! I have to admit, I am a bit jealous. I got banded 2 weeks after you and I have only lost 30 lbs. At times I feel defeated and often feel under motivated because of the lack of loss, but I do realize that we all will lose differently. I just keep telling myself that I will have that success story to tell one day. Heck, 30 lbs IS a success story so far!

I am with Kamisha on this. Have you been in to the office to get a fill? If you haven't in 6 months or so, I would say to make an appointment and have them measure what is in your band. It may be that you have had some "evaporation" (their word, not mine) and so you just need a little fill to take you back to that green zone.

I'm in Webster (right outside of South Houston) but moving to Katy area as soon as we can find a place, as my boyfriend got a job in that area and the commute is ridiculous! I'd love to meet people around here! I'm 23, have an almost 3 year old, stay at home currently, getting banded on October 12th (next Friday!). I'm on MyFitnessPal, username is FallonB!

I'm in Houston. Actually Clear Lake area. I was banded by Dr. Reilly at True Results in June 2011.

Been struggling lately but hoping to get back into the gym now that two of my kids aren't having baseball 5 days a week.

I'm on Facebook but I don't publicly share that there, as my boss is my friend and not a lot od people at work know. Feel free to friend me but send a message saying you're on LBT. I'll be happy to share my experiences via email, text or private message.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
