Hello Everyone,

I was banded on June 15, so today is my one month anniversary. I have only lost 15lbs. (no pre-op diet) I feel this is too slow; what do you think? My fill is only 2.5cc.

You are doing great. Don't push too hard. Just keep following the rules and it will come off. You did not say if you are exercising. Exercise will help.

I was banded 4/9/2009 and I have lost around 26 pounds and I am starting to worry. I thought by now I would have lost way more than what I have so far. Any advice

My doc says 1-2 lbs a week so 15 lbs in 4 weeks is great! I know some of the stories on here are magnificent but I'm trying to tell myself to be happy with the 1-2 per week. Just think, by June 15, 2010 you will have lost 50-100 lbs! Keep on moving forward!

Thank you!!!

It has been two months since my surgery and including the post op diet, I have lost 33 lbs. So I feel great about it! You are doing something right, and with every fill you will do better, lots of inches will also come off and that is a great feeling, cause clothes will start fitting and looking good on your body! Can you imagine? In 9 months or so we will look back and say wow, look how far we have come!!! I look at how much weight I gained in 9 months with a pregnancy and if I loose that much in 9 months I will be one proud grandma. I took all my grandchildren to a parade yesterday and they are all still very small, I hope they will not ever have to be ashamed of me being so big, cause I will be small soon. My youngest daughter will have a wedding in a couple of years, and I am going to be the hottest old mother of the bride there is.
