How Much Did You Lose?

How much weight did you lose during the first two weeks after surgery? Not including the weight you lost during preop.

      I am guessing maybe 1 or 2. But that is not the period to be worrying about the scale. It is a time for recovery and adjustment.

      Remember the band is NOT about quick weight loss ESPECIALLY just after surgery. The band does not work UNTIL you start the fill process. The first 6 weeks are to allow your band and port to heal. Yo

    I also have never had a fill. November 6 I wil have been banded 1 year. I reached my goal of 145 in 7 months. But I continued to loose another 10 and then my weight lose just stopped. I started out at 215 so I have lost 80 lbs. My weight fluctuates from 130 to 135. Feel great. Love my lap band with plication. Good luck to everyone on this site.

    i think my band is working fine with no fills (i have a primer but no idea how much) but i also

    have plication...so the band can work w/o fills........and i dont diet :)

    Carolina Girl,

    Your anotomany is different from us regular bandsters, you are sort of like a Sleeve, (just folding the stomach) but without removing the stomach, so your restriction will be VERY tight from the git-go....

    I have not read much long term research on Pilications, there were some mixed reviews on it initially, but it seems like more and more people are getting it, it's good to hear you are doing so well with it.

    Two weeks post-op today, down 33lbs. I know it won't always be this way, but pretty cool way to start.
