There are a lot of people who have been 300lb and over and lost vast amounts in only a few months but I was wondering, how many out there have been around the 225lb mark and what has been your weight loss? Are the smaller ones of the band users losing vast amounts in those few months or does it take longer to reach a good weight loss due to the fact that you don't have as much to lose?

Hi heresdeb,

I'm 240 and am also wondering the same thing. I'm being banded soon and I'm not sure what to expect, but I think that for every one getting under 200 is the hardest so we may just have that part to look forward to sooner then the rest. But I have seen others around the 220-250 mark who have gotten down to 150 or less. It's possible and I think that every person is different, so we are just going to have to wait and find out on our own. :guess
