Hi all,

I'd love to hear how the January 2009 Bandsters are doing. How is your progress, any complications, what weight have you lost? Are you ahead of expectations, behind? Have any questions for the rest of us?

As for me I'm at about a 45lb weight loss give or take.

FANTASTICALLY happy about my loss and ready to take off some more.

No complications, and think I've finally figured out how this band will work for me.

Check in my January hotties!! And I'm sure many of us are Hotties now :biggrin:

hi good for you. i was banded on january 13th 09. with no complications. so far i have lost 93lbs. 7 more for the 100lb mark. monday i go for my seventh fill.i can,t wait to get under 200lbs.i started out at 324in the beginning then lost 40lbs before surgery.i was 285-during surgery now i am down to 233lbs.i am happy with my band.how are everyone else is doing.

My surgery was January 29, 2009. I have lost 42 pounds so far. I am doing a slow but sure journey. The weight didn't come on overnight and it won't go off overnight either. I don't want a dramatically fast loss anyway. I want it to be gradual. I planned for a year to reach my goal and that is what my surgeon likes to have people do also. I don't want to need surgery for saggy skin that happens so often with fast weight loss. I have 28 pounds to go and I do believe I will be there by the end of January 2010.:biggrin:

bumping-any other January WLS patients

Hi everyone, I was banded January 20th, and am down 48 pounds, though most of that was in the first 2-3 months, and very little since then, but I'm really happy, and just got my 7th fill, and am to 6.5 cc (14 cc band), and finally really feel some restriction...so I'm hoping this is the sweet spot.

Right here! I'm doing pretty good. At times, I would have liked to have lost more by now but I think I came into this whole thing with some pretty lofty expectations. I'm over half way to goal and I've gone from a size 20 to a 12 so I'm very happy about that. Hoping to reach goal by sometime next spring.

Sounds like the rest of you have done wonderfully! Keep up the good work!
