First Six Months of Lap Band: Average Weight Loss??

Hi Everybody,

So I've officially made the decision to self pay and I'm scheduling my surgery tomorrow!! AHHHH!!! :) :nervous :D I go back to school in the fall and I was wondering what the average weight loss was for the first 6 months. (I want to clarify that this means post band and not including your pre-op diet.) I'm TOTALLY living in fantasy land and I was hoping ya'll would help me out here in dream world. Thanks team!

Love, Sheila

Going to face the music, take out tons of loans (at this point what's MORE debt!?) and get my BAND!!

I have lost 82 lbs in 6 months and I can honestly say that I have no flab in my face or arm hang. My legs are also toned:thumbup:. My only problem area is my inner thigh:scared2:. My Doctor is also very impressed with how toned my skin is I owe this to GOD. I think that walking has helped with toning and losing most of my belly fat. I know age and genetics plays a role also.

Walking is good for my heart and helps me stay toned :blush:.

Good Luck :blushing:
