I created a spread sheet for people who were banded in June. Its kind of a way to keep tabs on how your doing along with others that have been banded close to same time as you were.

I posted this in the June 2008 forum but see alot of new people that have been banded in June so thought I would post here as well.

If you would like to be added just PM me with your:

1. Height

2. Goal Weight

3. pre-surgery weight

4. post-surgery weight

5. pre-surgery waist measurements

6. post-surgery waist measurements

You can always find the updated chart here.

I was banded on june 5 08. had my first fill today. i have lost 18 pounds. got me a treadmill and walk 2 times a day..i weight was 274. my goal is to weight180 next august 2009...i know i can do it...does any body have any good protein receipts? that drink is getting hard to swallow........

you are almost there...good luck to ya...you will do fine..we must tell our self we will die young if we dont have this done...the first 4 weeks are recovery and take advantage of quick weight loss because it slowws up when food is added.....I will say a prayer for you and let me know how you do. I stayed over night.for insurance reasons. some people stay for several days..but keep positive thoughts in your head. I bought me a size large top and plan to wear it this winter. i am in a 3-2x now. watch those carbs...i ate potted meat when i started eating food. i felt food deprived because i am always eating alot of food..........eating habits around here have sure changed. my puppy thinks i dont love her any more but she is starting to like yogart!!!good luck......

Hello all,

I was Banded on 06/02/08. I have lost 55lbs. It fluctuates between 55 - 60 with what I assume is Water retention or bowl movements. I am on my second fill and honestly I can't even feel the band most of the time unless I touch it. I know my doc & the office personnel look at my strangely when they ask if the banding seems any different and I say no. While obviously it has helped, my eating seems to be the same for portion size, but I eat a whole lot less as far as caloric intake. In addition I do eat a lot better. I think there has only been three times when I have felt a minor stuck feeling, but other than that I do alright. For the past 3-4 weeks I have been steady at 55lbs loss, but I am alright with that, at least for now. I have been reading and see where many didn't start the loss until the 3rd fill or 6cc's. I have 2 and with 3 or 4cc's... Can't remember how much they had when they put it in, but each fill was 1.5 so far. I have a hard time getting the 80 grams of Protein in, but I am dedicated and the shakes help a lot and I like the taste of the 3 I use...Time will tell and I am using the Band as a tool and not as a miracle... Feel free to ask questions, but I am just doing one day at a time.:tongue:

I am in the same boat as you. I was banded on 6-18-08 and and I have lost 40 lbs so far, post op. I had my fist fill on Friday. I got 1cc in a 10cc band. I did not want a large fill as I am doing well without one. I just thought it was time. My Dr. said he normally gives two to three cc on the first fill but not with me and I was fine with that.
