banded in october

[katieanne 0]

Hi everyone I am new here. I was banded on october 22. To date I have lost 25lbs. I wanted to know if this was an average weight loss ? I did not have to start a liquid diet until the day before. I am very happy with it so far just thought I should be losing more ? Would appreciate anyones feedback , thanks .

25 Pounds in 7 weeks in awesome. I am 10 weeks out and am only down 22 pounds. I know we all want to be losing faster than we are, but at least it is coming off. Keep up the good work.

Katieanne,

I was banded on 10/13 (8 weeks ago) and I'm down 22 pounds. Wish it were more, and I think I'm finally breaking through a little weight stand still, but I'm still very happy!

Congrats, and keep up the good work!

katieanne-- I didn't have to do liquids until 2 days before as well. I was banded about a month before you and have lost 13-15 lbs (varies daily).

You're doing GREAT!! 22 lbs way over 1-2 lbs a week-- Don't worry about what other people are losing-- We're all different. If you're happy that is all that matters!

hey Julie thanks for your reply. I guess I am being impatient. My sister was banded last november and is down 80lbs. I wanted to ask you how do you get that ticker on your site ? I was banded oct 22 2008 , dr jordan garrison , have had no fills yet . How do you get your fills ? My doctor does them in the hospital then wants to do a upper GI with barium so he can see what kind of restriction there is . he says that takes the guess work out of how tight or loose it is. Look foward to hearing from you.
