I had my surgery back in September and right now I am at a loss of about 33 pounds. So how much weight did you fellow bandsters lose when you were 4 months out? I know everyone loses differently, but Im just curious as to what other people have lost compared to what I have.

Thanks!! :thumbup:

I was banded 3rd Sept, had 5 fills up to 7.5cc in a realize band and have lost 25 pounds. I had lost 29 pounds but put on 4 pounds the last 2 weeks due to personal issues and eating and to escape. But its a new year and its full of possibilities and lots of adventure for me. Happy New Year EVERYONE!!!

I was banded just one day before you (Sept 9) and I have lost 38 lbs. I certainly haven't been perfect on this diet, so I know it would be possible to lose faster, but the way I am dieting I know I can sustain, and that is much better for me in the long run. It took me a long time to gain this weight, it will take me some time to lose it, but I hope to lose it forever.

I was banded on Sept 5th and I am 32 pounds down. I think we are all in the same neighborhood of weight loss.

Congrats on you loss so far.

I had the band surgery on October 29, 2008 and as of 1/6/09 I have lost 33lbs. I was thinking the same thing that I should have lost more. I was thinking though in the past it would have taken me 6-7 months if not longer to loose 30 lbs so I am happy with the loss I have had with the band.

I was banded on August 18th, I have lost 60lbs since then total loss is 84lbs. My only disappointment is that at my last Dr. appt for another fill my Dr. said I was losing a little to fast and that no fill was needed. But I still eat about 1 1/2 cups of food some days and other days I can only manage 1/4 cup a meal. I thank God for this band it has truely changed my life. I feel so good.:thumbup:

Mama: I was banded 8/19/08, my total loss so far is around 40#'s, I have appt. tomorrow morning and will have a definite amount then.....I've not been very good at keeping track of my numbers. Will be adjusting that after tomorrow!

i also had my surgery in Sept. and i have lost exactly 30lbs. i'm glad to see ppl around the same number b/c i swear i was behind the 8 ball...i do feel pressure from my family who somehow think i'm supposed to be dropping 10lbs a day :thumbup:...geez...i didnt gain the weight overnight its still gonna take some time even with the band...i am gonna jumpstart a bit after the holidays and try the 5 day pouch test..

I was banded on 9/16 and as of this morning I have lost 31lb. I had lost 33 but gained back two.

I am going for my third fill sometimes this month since I am not feeling any restriction right now.

Hi, I had my lap band surgery on 8/15/08 and I am down about 42 pounds. I thought I should be loosing more but my doctor says this is OK. Had my second fill yesterday and I hope I will keep loosing.

im a slow loser and at 4 months i had only lost 10 or 12lbs

i didnt get filled right away and it took awhile for me to change my eating habits
