I was banded on sept 2 just wondering how everyone is doing that was banded at the same time ?? How much have u lost?? According to my scale I've lost 13lbs since the day of surgery .

I have lost 8 lbs since Sept 19th but I don't see it in my clothes or looks. I am not having trouble with eating less- I don't feel hungry but I still eat too fast. I don't chew enough nor do I take long enough between bites. Any ideas?

Yea somtimes I eat to fast myself, I just try to take me time and remind my self to eat slow.i always on the go so it's really hard for me too. It's Easier for me to eat early , then it is to eat in afternoon . So I try to eat as much as I can cause at the end of the day I can't. I'm still learning my band so I just go with it .

Banded sept 30th. approx 12 lb weight loss in 3 weeks. My incision where my port is burns and still having slight amount of drainage anyone else have this?

I've had no problems at all u mite want to call ur doc

I was banded on September 30 2014. I have only lost 11lb. Am not hungry until the late evenings. I pretty much what I want. Am hopeing when I get my first adjustment on October 21 it will take care of the hunger. Am still trying to learn to eat smaller and slower

Thanks for reading

Ended up with slight staph infection. Antibiotics have almost taken care of burning and incision has healed close Praise the Lord!!! 28-29 lbs down 5 weeks including pre op Pretty excited. This thing actually works ????

Oui1213 have you had an adjustment yet? Am always thinking something is wrong because I still eat pretty much what I want. Am walking every day. But only have lost a little weight. I get my first adjustment on October 21.

No. No fill yet. 3 more weeks till fill. Dr said this is hardest time because no fill can result in bigger appetite. Can't wait till fill !

Banded 9/5....including the 2 week preop diet I am down 36 lbs. I will finally get a fill tomorrow. I currently have no fluid in my band.

I am right there with u. Lost 28 lbs. 3 weeks to go until first fill my surgery 9-30. Cant wait dr told me this is the worse part of whole thing. He said if u can at least manage to keep wt stable during that time u r doing good. And if u can manage to lose a little weight during this time u r doing super. So we both are doing super!!! Congrats????

I had my first fill yesterday. And even tho I only lost 11 pounds they said that on head of schedule with me losing weight. That I have lost 20% of my body fat. So am going to get back on track
