Who had surgery during the month's of oct/nov/dec 2005?

And how much weight have you lost?

Thanks

I had surgery Dec 27th, 2005. Started at 241, now I'm 187. 54 pounds and counting...

I had my surgery on Dec. 15, 2005 and have lost 66 lbs. I started at 250 and am 184 now. I have gone from a size 22 to as size 15-16. So far, I have had no major issues with my band, and I am very grateful for being able to have the surgery done. It has saved me from my self.

I had my surgery on December 9th, so far I have lost about 25kg (50 something pounds), which is a tad over 65% of my excess weight.

I'm still losing but very slowly now. I want to lose another 15kg.

End of november, i've lost 47 and still have about 20 to go for me to be where I want to be 140's

Wish I could say I've had as much success as you all but alas I've only lost 31 pounds. I had no restriction for the longest time but I just got restriction from my last fill and I'm learning to eat and chew, chew chew. I had my first PB last week and since then I've had two of them, and wow are they ever an eye opener as far as my eating habits.

I have to say I went into this band with such high hopes and was so dissapointed almost from the start, but I really think it was becaause I had no restriction and It was as if I never had the band. Hopefully now things will start changing for me and next time I post I'll have lost more.

Hi, everyone i was banded nov 9, 2005 and have lost 77 pounds.

I still don't have a fill, try do it on august 28.

But im happy, i love my band.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

It looks like everyone has done a wonderful job. Don't worry Tootarts, once you get good restriction, the should come off quicker and eaiser. Try not to get discouraged and have faith that this will work for you. Besides, those PB's are nothing to mess with :-)

I have been waiting for a thread like this, just so I could talk to people that are going thru the same things at or around the same times. I look forward to talking to you all.

I had a fill last Wednesday and I am just starting to feel some restriction. Hopefully it will continue.

I havent achieved really good restriction yet either, but I think I can work with what I have. It means for me I have to use my willpower to actually lose but when that fails, I dont actually gain kind of thing. So my weight is coming off in spurts as I'm really good for a few weeks and then there'll a run of outings, celebrations etc and I'm not so good and wont lose. But I dont gain like I used to.
