when their surgery was and how much wieght they have lost (please dont include wieght loss pre-surgery from liquid diet)

I was banded 3/25 and have lost only 17 pounds:unsure:

I just had my first fill last week and still not feeling much restriction (only 2cc's)

I would love to hear how everyone else is doing:redface:

I was banded on march 20th and I have lost 20 as of last wed. My doc told me I was doing great and was on the high end of losing. Remember this is not a race... it is the beginning of a new life. You are doing well. try not to compare your journey with someone elses. there are many factors and nobodys situation is exactly the same. Keep your chin up and be happy with YOUR sucess.

I would like to hear from others as well, I just had surgery on May 6th and would like to see some results of others post- op only.

You are doing awesome! I hear some don't lose at all but gain until they get their 1st fill. Looks like you are right on target at 2 lbs a week. Which is what I would love to shoot for. Plus your skin will thank you!

I was banded 1/25/06 and lost about 70 lbs the 1st year, then 30 the next, 5 this year. Am at goal & doing great!

I was banded on March 17@ 262

236 now... so 26 lbs.

I had my first fill of 2cc on April 28 and I don't feel that much restriction but, as long as your still looseing I think it's ok. Sounds like you are right were your supposed to be!

I was banded March 16th and since then I have lost 25 lbs. I lost a few before but don't count those in my journey to get to my goal.

I had my surgery on March 18th.

I weighed 220 at surgery and as of this morning I weigh 190 for total weight loss of 30lbs.

i was banded 3/25.

so since that date, i have lost exactly 20.

hey y'all! I just realized I posted in wrong forum earlier. Sorry, didn't mean to be a butt-inski. It's only been a short time yet. Don't worry so much it sounds like you're pretty much on track. Good luck to all of you.

i was banded on 3/18 and have lost 28lb. I had 2cc in my band and got my first fill on 5/6 and additional 2cc.

I have lost 40 pounds to date and my surgery date was on March 18th. I just got my second fill today and my first last month on 4/15. Sometimes I fill like I have a restriction and other times I dont. Last week I ate a cheeseburger that my hubby grilled (not the best choice) and I ate real slowly and it went down, no problems. But then on Mothers Day I barely ate anything, though I tried. The PA today told me that some people dont start to fill restriction until the 3 or 4th. I am now @ 6ccs total!

Good Luck Everyone!

I was banded on 3/16 and have only lost 13 lbs since that date. So, that should make you feel better.

I was banded on 04/08/09. I have lost 26 pounds since surgery. I had my post op visit last Friday and got a 2.6 cc fill. I have more restriction now. Hope all goes well with you!

I was banded on 3/19 and have lost a total of 13 pounds so far. Most of it was on the preop diet. I got my first fill on 5/12 and now have a total of 6cc's in my band.

I was banded on 3/8/09 and I have lost a total of 27lbs. I've had one fill of 3.5cc's and I'm getting a 2nd this weekend.

Since surgery on 3/19 I have lost a total of 27 lbs, but total since starting this journey in December its 48 lbs. I had my first fill on 4/28 and since then I have lost about 9 lbs. These past 2 weeks I have been staying pretty much within a 2-3 lb range going up and down. I am not liking that fact that I think I am plateauing so early on. I also do no thing I am eating enough protein, so I am trying to boost that up hoping that will make a difference in my losses. I really want/need to hit the 50 lbs mark to feel a sense of accomplishment.
