has anyone had alot of weight loss within 2 months. i was operated on 7/31 and i have gone from 304 lbs to 258 lbs in not even 2 months thats 46 lbs and i havent had a fill yet. as a matter of fact when i was in hospital they had to take the prime out of the band because i was too swollen. any responses will be appreciated. P.S. i also eat well and because of my bad knee i havent exercised yet

Awsome weight loss! Some people loose faster than others. Just don't worry when you slow way down or hit a platue. Change your eating habits. You said you haven't had a fill, so do you have any kind of restriction? You might not need to get a fill. Some Dr.s won't give you a fill if you are loosing to fast. Keep us posted please.

I am guessing you have some restriction even though you have no fill. Also, guys loose weight pretty fast compared to women. As long as you are not having any probs eating and getting all your protein and nutrients I wouldnt worry. You can always call and talk with the doc/nurse as well.

I lost ~35 lbs within 3 weeks and stopped completely for like 2.5 months and just started dropping again, think my system was just in shock and is now adjusting.

big rick thats what doctor said we are similar in weight and weight loss goal although you were 30 lbs heavier at the start keep up the good work

Congrats on your success! I think everyone is so different. I think for myself...I have been Yo-Yo dieting for my whole life that I have slowed my metabolism down so much that I am resistant. I would go from starving myself to binge eating and every diet in between; Atkins, Weight Watchers, cabbage soup, Metafast, Hollywood, etc. My body is totally confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am having the same problem as you, i started out at 387 and now have hit 315. I was banded 7/23. I have had 2 fills so far and seem to slow down the weight loss just a week before my next fill. I have a 10cc band and now have 8cc added as my fills. i have been walking but not too fast because of my knees and hip pain. i think if you are feeling well and your Doctor is not worried you should be ok. My doctor is not at all worried about my weight, in fact he will prob. not give me another fill until the weight slows down. Good luck with you weight loss and may you enjoy your band.
