I am new to this forum, but wanted to join one that was just for banded patients. What is the typical weight loss and how fast is everyone else losing. I lost 13 preop and have lost 9 since surgery. I had my surgery on November 11, 2009.

I was banded on 11/13/09. I lost 10 pre-op and 12 post-op so far. I've noticed that since I started on the mushie stage I've come to a stop. I figure my body is readjusting from liguids.

I was banded on 11/3 and lost 14 pounds preop even though I wasn't required to do a special diet. Since surgery I've only lost 2 pounds *but* I've lost several inches and have lowered my blood sugar from the mid 300's down to roughly 150 (give or take a bit depending on the time of day)...both of which are far more important to me than the number on my scale.

.

I typically lose 1-3 pounds per week.

I lost 11 pounds on my pre-op diet and I've lost 70 pounds since being banded in mid April of this year.

I will tell you that the first 50 pounds came off really quickly but the last 20 have taken more time.

Hey there! I think it varies so much with age-sex-and beginning weight and frame size.

I look at other people that was banded around the same time as me and I get a little discouraged. I feel like I ma not losing like I should.

I started at 239.8 (goal weight 150) and on Sunday weighed in at 222.0 so about 18 pounds. I guess if you average it out it is not bad..about 3 punds a week but it is way slow the past few weeks.

I got my first fill last Thursday 4 cc's in a 10 cc band and I really don't feel that different. I have another appt. on 12-10 so maybe I will get a little more!
