Banded May 6th. Have had3 fills (plus a 5cc primer in at surgery), totaling 8.7 cc in a 14 cc band. I have lost 35 pounds since surgery and 71 since I called to setup my initial consultation. Everything is going great for me, working out like crazy! Just finally got under 300 pounds for the first time in years so that was a huge victory!! Hope everyone is doing great!!

Banded May 29th and down 43 pounds!!! Feeling great!! No hunger only one fill so far. Can't complain at all so glad I did this!!!!

I was banded May 20' date=' down 23 pounds and 2 fills, now having stuck episodes some...who else was banded in May?[/quote']

I was banded May 28th. down 50 lbs. I am so glad I did this. Went from 258 to 208. I feel great.

  • 2 weeks later...

Banded May 10th and I'm still kicking. Down 38 lbs. I had the plication with my banding and so far my hunger is controlled. I had two major problems that caused my weight gain over the years.....portion size and munching/grazing. Soft drinks didnt help either. I've given up soft drinks totally and portion size is being mostly controlled by band, so all I really have to focus on is not munching and grazing. I dont think its going to be a short journey, but I do feel it will be effective and I'll get there. Did I mention......no fills as of yet? But I do see my surgeon Monday.

Hi all May bandsters!! I was banded may 20th And have lost 32lbs. I feel great! I have had only one fill. My dr did not want to give me another one until I stop having stucks!! I am still learning to chew chew chew and eat slower. Which is much better now. I also need to work out more than I am. Have never liked it and still don't but I know how important it is for my progress ! I was on vacation and did ok (not perfect) but that def effected my weight loss. So back on track and hope I can get a fill this Tuesday at my appt. keep up the good work everyone !!

Banded on May 28th @ 258 lbs with severe sleep apnea. Today I am 207 lbs and sleeping like a baby. Best decision I ever made.

I was banded May 15th, starting weight was 214. 3 months later I am down 30 pounds. I haven't had a fill yet. Down to 184.

I was banded May 21st 2013 and I'm officially half way to my goal. 2 weeks before surgery I was 330 lbs I weighed in this morning at 269.8 (-60.2 lbs). My goal is 210 so I'm officially over half way there. I've had 2 fills since surgery and feel pretty comfortable where I'm at now restriction wise. Best decision I've ever made.
