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.

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.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
