Where are all the "New Years Hotties" January 2009 Bandsters~check in here



Recommended Posts

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:

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:

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
