Wow Dawn! That's quite an accomplishment! I was banded April 9, and have twice hit plateaus! Stuck currently.

What's your secret?

I was banded 4.14.08. I lost 16lbs pre-surgery and only 5 since. But, I had my 1st fill yesterday, so I'm hoping to start losing again! (Although I'm eating way less, I haven't lost since going off the liquid diet a month ago) :rolleyes2:

OMGoshhh, i just visited DR. Luttrell last week. He is very personable. Tell me about your surgery day...Did all go as planned? When we was in that Seminar room, i was afraid that was the surgery center.... it looked kinda dreary.

Name: Chilly

Date you were banded: April 15,2008

Weight loss to date: (pre-op lost 15) post-op lost 9

How are you feeling? I am feeling up-set with myself because I am not losing the weight as I thought. I am going in for another fill since I have no restriction yet. I have 3 cc in a 10 cc band and nothing. But other than that, I feel good and confident that I will lose weight with help from the band.

My start weight was 267 and I am currently 223 (stuck here for a few days now). I just joined a Gym and hope to get things moving again.

I will get my 2nd fill on the 25th of June. I have a 4cc band with 1cc in. I was getting kind of uncomfortable in my size 22 jeans and now I am wearing size 16. I Love My Band!!!!

Chillie,

Please don't be upset. You don't say how much you have lost but this is really a slow process. I also thought it would be much faster. I told my surgeon that and he said if I wanted fast I should have gone for the by-pass instead. He was happy with the 16 that I lost in 6 weeks. I thought he was going to be disappointed in me. My first fill has helped some, but I plan for another in a month or so. I hit the 20 pound mark today. I worked hard for that one!!

Hang in there.

Hi Bobbil, I was also banded on 4/21 and down 16lbs the first 6 weeks, at first I thought it should be more but then again I didn't gain it over night. My doctor was also happy with my loss. Since my first fill I have dropped a few more and my energy level is awesome. And that does count for something.
