Success Stories With Low Bmi?

Hi There,

I was banded a few weeks ago and so far so good. I started out with a BMI of 31 and I was just wondering if any other low BMI banders have had good weight loss results with the band? So far things are going great and I am so happy I got banded but just wanted to see how things are going for people in the long term? I had my first fill a week ago still and have not found the happy green spot as of yet.

Thanks!

    My experience I believe I was 32 bmi, I'm only 5ft1 and always struggled with my weight, I was 14st4 when I decided to have the surgery as I really tried everything in my power to do loose the weight since I was 10. Sometimes we just need that extra push and the band done that for me as been a very hard process but very rewarding I went from size uk 18 to 8!!!!! From 14st4 to 8st13!!! I am glad to say I have no extra skin and really happy to have done the surgery when I was 21! Not even one year on and I already lost all the weight and I am now with a healthy bmi!! Good luck to you all, but remember is a tool not a miracle, you gotta really work on your nutrition, for 3 months I did not touch chocolate or anything bad at all!! Will power!!! If you need any help contact mexx
