We will all hit our one month "bandaversary" this month, so let's use this thread to check in. When you hit the one-month mark, post how much weight you have lost, non-scale victories (NSVs), and just how you are doing. Hope everyone is healthy and happy!

I guess I missed my one month anniversary post! Things are going well so far. I'm down 30 lbs total. My first fill is next week!

Congrats to everyone for doing so well!

Hey everyone. Just wanted to say i was banded 4-4-08 and im down 36 pounds. I had to get an unfill today though because i wasnt keeping anything down and couldnt even drink water. I will go back on the 6th and i will see if im ready to get another fill. I now have 3 cc in a 10cc band. So far so good! ( Well except for the past 3 days...LOL and they sucked)!!!

Hello All,

I was banded on Apr 23rd. After going thru a couple of weeks of not losing anything, I started up again and have now lost 31 lbs total. I get my first fill on May 30th, WOO HOO.

Good luck to all, we can all do this.

Love

Hi guys, this is formerly "Countingthedays" I changed my login name to just my first name since I am no longer counting down the days till surgery. My surgery was done 4/17 & I have lost almost 30lbs since then. I have gone down 2 bra sizes, from a 22/24 pant size to an 18/20 (almost 16's a little snug but almost there!!) & from a 3X shirt to just an XL, I can wear my moms shirts & my sons!! My biggest victory though is my diabetes meds. I was on 4 glyburide a day & now I am down to only half a pill a day at bedtime. 2 more weeks & I go back to the endocrinologist & hopefully I will be able to stop the diabetes meds all together!!

My weight loss has pretty much stopped this last week or so since starting solids, but I go for my first fill in 2 days. I am so psyched about this whole process!!

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone on the weight lost!! I myself lost 30lbs so far and I am getting my first fill on 5/30 so I am a little nervous on that. Keep up the good work everyone!!!!

Hi! My first month anniversary was 5/3. I have lost 25 pounds so far and going in for my second fill on June 9th. So far so good.

I haven't checked the April threads in quite awhile...oops!! Anyway, on the 23rd(my one month mark) I was down 17lbs. My first fill ws yesterday, 4cc in a 9cc Realize band. I am feeling great and was surprised and amazed at how easy and painless the fill was. I am working with a personal trainer at the gym and feeling very motivated. Good job everyone!!

Its time for the 2 month bandiversary thread!!!

Hi all!

i hit my one month on the 29th. I've been feeling great the last 2 weeks and I've lost a total of 15 lbs, although I have been at the same weight for the past 10-12 days. i'm hoping that my plateau will end soon, i've been experimenting with different foods to see what I can tolerate. I had a problem at 2 1/2 weeks with a piece of "stuck" food, something I never want to go through again, and it has made me very cautious eating anything that might swell up in my little stomach.

my NSV of the month: i've lost most of my "butt shelf"!!
