What a great thread!!!

My bandiversary was June 15. As of that day I have had 3 fills, total of 3 CC's in a 10 cc band. I have lost 49.5 pounds post-op and a total loss of 62.5lbs. I am down 35.25 inches, from a tight 26 to a comfortable 18. :tt1:

As of June 21st, my 4 1/2 month bandiversary, I have lost 60 lbs since surgery on 02/07/08. I have had 3 fills equalling 5.5cc in a 10cc Inamed Band. However, due to bringing up everything I ate, I had an emergency unfill of 0.5cc leaving me with 5cc which seems to be my sweet spot for now. Congratulations to all of our successes!

HI!

As of June 25, I have lost 35 pounds. I have 6cc in a 14cc band. Next fill under floro on the July 3. I've had a few minor medical bumps (not band related) but, all is good now and the scale is moving again!!!

Hey everyone,

As of June 10th, my 4 month Bandiversary, I have lost 47pounds. I have had 1 fill on June 18th, with 2.5ccs in a 10 cc band.

I don't feel any restriction, and have no problems eating anything. I could swallow a chicken leg without chewing hehe. I won't go for my next fill until sometime in September.

I can't wait for my band to help me out a bit more.

I've lost 39 lbs. give or take two or three that go up and down. I'm not up to par with most of you. But atleast I'm in the race not sitting on the sidelines.

June 26th was my 4 month anniversary, down 42lbs, 2 fills (last one in May) 4.5cc in a 10cc band. I cannot say that I have hit that sweet spot. However, I am getting things stuck too often. I find it difficult to eat slowly and I apparently do now chew it long enough. I am still trying. So far, been lucky it only lasts for 3-5 minutes and then clears without a PB, but it sure does not feel very good.......................Jim

I'm so happy to hear from you, April. Yay!!!!!!!

:thumbup: :eek:

Glad to hear the scale is moving in the right direction for you. Celebrate. You deserve it! You've manage to keep the pounds coming off even when you've been struggling. That means you're still working it. When you get down you've managed to pull yourself back up and get back on track. Something none of us could do before the band.
