Looking for people who got banded june 2009.....I have hit a plateau for the last three weeks.....getting first fill in three days....looking for people to share with me..

yes, I got banded on 6/15. I will get my 1st fill on Wednesday. I have lost about 18 pounds. but it's slow

I got banded on 6/17....I had my first fill yesterday which I just blogged about. It really wasn't bad at all. I have had alot of the same experience as you. I initially lost weight after surgery, but once I got over my post op pneumonia and staph infection I gained those six or seven pounds back. I felt so depressed that I hadn't lost alot more in the six weeks AFTER surgery, but it isn't called "Bandster Hell" for nothing. I had NO restriction---could eat my arm whole with nothing stopping me!! :sneaky:) But my Dr. told me yesterday...Today is the day your weightloss journey begins. (Not June 17th)....so it begins. You will get thru this point. There are no failures---just delayed success. Take one day at a time.

Hello :sneaky: I was banded 27 June and lost 15lbs in the first week and only 6 since. My first fill is on Friday so we're at the same point too. Seems to me we're a good gang to go through this together.

Hi I was banded on 06/15/09 and so far have lost 20lbs. I thought I was alone... but kinda comforting knowing that we are experiencing the same things. I know I really do need to up my exercising!

FYI

There is a social group for people who had their lapband done in June 2009. You may want to join.

hi, was banded 6/23 and lost around 20lbs, mostly the first week of post op liquids... i had my second fill today, and now have a total of 5.5mls in my band.
