I was banded June 5th by Dr. Hollis in Houston and it has been nothing but a life saver! I started out at 301, in a 44 waist jeans moving to at 46 and looking for velcro shoes! As of today, i have had 3 fills. I started out with 4cc in a 10cc band and now at 6.7cc. The only thing's that give me issues are bread and dry meat... anything else goes done. How I got so lucky and have had no issue with eating food or things i don't know, but this thing works. I am now at 238 and 38 jeans. Dr. Hollis is a life saver!

That is fantastic to hear! Way to go!

Congratulations! You have done great! I hope my experience will be as good as yours. So far so good!!

Great news and well done. I hope I do as well as you. I got banded on the 15th Sept and sound about the same size and weight as you. 300 pound, size 42 jeans. I just hope I can lose the pounds over the next few months. I don 't get my first fill for another 4 weeks so I will have to be patient.

CONGRATS! Isn't it wonderful to feel in control again? I know you will be successful and the first thing you know, you'll be in size 36 jeans.

you are awesome, I keep reading about people who are banded and losing so much weight in so little time, how did you do it I'm only 5 weeks banded and lost 17lbs,but I am happy,I will be eating regular foods from here on end do you still take the protein shakes, I will try the powdered milk and add it to milk ,see how I like it unjury protein is great but costly, other liquid protein shakes are not as good at all, good luck

Congratulations, Traveldadddy!! My band has been a modern miracle for me too, so I share your enthusiasm.

Travelingdaddy, you have done a great job! Congratulations!

So awesome!! I know you must be so proud of yourself! I hope I have as much success as you're having as time goes on!

Take care and God bless!
