I was banded in Feb. 09 and have lost 29lbs. to date. I realize that we that need to loose less weight will loose slower, but does anyone else get frustrated when you read how much weight everyone else is loosing in the same amount of time? I try to remind myself that slower is better but it gets frustrating. :sad:

Does anyone else get frustrated?

I still have another 49lbs. to loose and would love to loose it by the time my husband and I renew our wedding vows next April in Hawaii!:biggrin:

I totally know how you feel about the slow weight loss. It has taken me over a year to lose this much. Just try your hardest and remember that everyone is different! Slow is definitely good, and you will be grateful for it in the future. Good luck!

Hello - I have been banded a little over 6 months and lost 51 lbs. Not as much as I would like, but I'll take it. I would say get a fill, be aggressive. Yes, it's a little more troublesome and difficult but if you want to see results it will work. I am still trying to figure out how to work with the band but it does get better. Hang in there...and remember a loss is a loss. :-)
