Hey All!

Its nice to find a new spot for Bandsters. Its really great to be able to share my experiences with others who know what I'm going through.

I was banded on Jan 9th. I started out 286. Since than I've lost 38 pounds to my current weight of 248. Unforunately I've been on a plateau for the last three weeks. I go for my second fill this coming Thursday April 1st. I hope that helps me. I hope to at least reach 230 by June.

Welcome, AG

This is a great board, you'll love it here! It sounds like you are doing awesome with your band! Good for you!

Again, welcome!!

glad to see someone in the 280's I started at 282 and am now 236 I got mine in august and didn't really start losing until adjustment 3. I know what you mean about plateauing. With my second fill I lost 5 on first week, but then gained it back and never lot anymore, so don't get discouraged. I think June is fairly realistic for the goal you have set, especially late June. I am out 3 weeks on fill 3 and can just now eat solids. The weightloss has slowed but, I think it's because I was in starvation mode for so long, not being able to eat anything. Excercise will hopefully kickstart my metabolism. Maybe it will help with your June goal too.

It's funny how skinny winny's always think people who are overweight just eat too much, if they only knew lol

Welcome to another Wisconsinite!

I was banded by Dr. Chua also...nothing but good things to say...I've been on a plateau for the past few weeks as well but my restriction is good...not sure why?
