What was your old username ?

Hi lesliecu, I was banded Nov. 5th of 2010. I am going in for my 4th fill today and hoping to feel more restricted. I am not losing weight quickly at all and I get very depressed. Compared to many people on this site, a lot of people are losing 10 and 12 pounds per month. I am lucky if I lose 3 pounds per month. I am going to think positive though and keep truckin! We bought a heavy duty treadmill and I was using it, until I got sick. I have been sick for the past 3 days running a low grade temp. I feel like a truck hit me with aches and pains all over. Therefore, I cannot walk on my new treadmill until I get my energy back. I am drinking lots of liquids and sleeping a lot lately in hopes to rid myself of this illness. Anyway, enough about me, how are you doing? Has it been a successful surgery for you? Let me know. Talk later.

Hello, Leslie:

I, too, was banded in 2009. I'm losing weight slowly and have lost 95 pounds so far. Last week I participated in a kickboxing class and I felt great!! Can't wait till tomorrow for my second class. By the way, this is the first time I have blogged.

Hey Leslie,

Banded Nov. 10, 2009. Best decisions of my life.... Starting weight 223, now 153. Paints size 18, now 8-10. Started exercising about 4 months after i go my band and the weight started to come off faster.

Fixing to start a very intense work out plan hoping to lose the last 20 and tone up the mid-section.... But if i never lose another pound, i am so happy.

I was banded July 14 2009. I weighted 263. I now weigh 155. I am so happy I had it done.
