As I type this, I am wearing size 18/20 exercise pants from Wal-Mart. The are snug in the butt/legs (but not too bad or I wouldn't have them on!) but a bit too roomy in the waist area. My shirt is a 22/24 but it is way big. I could do a 20 comfortably but I like my clothes big, so...

I have lost a total of 22 1/2 inches from my body. Here's the breakdown as of this morning:

Arms -1/2 inch each

Bust -3 inches

Bra Band -2 inches

Waist -4 inches

Abs -3.5 inches

Hips -3 inches

Thighs -2 inches each

Calves -1 inch each

You didn't ask for all of that but I JUST measured this morning and I'm so excited to have lost this many inches!! It's happening! I love my band!!!

Havent been banded but am 5ft 10, 108 kg (about 240 I think?). Size 20 - thats a US 18. Kinda fat and dumpy but not fat enough, surgeon doesnt want to see me, so I have to go it alone. I've lost a bit over the last few weeks, losing motivation a bit now though. I should be around 154 (70kg). That was the weight I maintained for a long time and felt great at.

Jachut, Where in Oz are you? The lady in hospital next to me only weighed 86kgs and was banded by my surgeon in Perth - she had just been diagnosed with diabetes though so that was probably a contributing factor. If you are having health problems due to your weight I am sure that a surgeon would at least see you and talk to you. Go pour you heart out to a nice GP and get a referral and then they will have to see you. Good luck with it honey!!

Oh the GP referred me, it was he who put the wind up me, rabbiting on about my sky high cholesterol and pre diabetes - um, he had someone else's bloodwork in MY file, idiot. I'm heavy but healthy as a horse, BMI 34 and not a comorbidity to be seen.

I'm OK with it, I'm grateful I dont have any problems and I'll just plug away at it myself. I'm not sure it would be quite the right thing for me at this stage. But when I put on 10kg more than I lose after this round of dieting I might qualify, lol.
