carissarenae1986 0 Posted July 13, 2010 @Rebecca- I was banded in March 09, So all together It took me about 15 mos. But I can tell you it seemed to all happen at once. I think Ive lost 50-60 pounds just since Christmas and I'm not gaining.. It's all in your fills!! @yello - Thank you so much! Share this comment Link to comment
Gorda123 2 Posted July 13, 2010 this gives me motivations...right now im at 240lbs (-40) and my goal is to get to the 170's. Unfortunally i am loosing very slowly anf still dont have much restriction.You look great! how many tummy crunches are you doing to have that flat belly?? Share this comment Link to comment
carissarenae1986 0 Posted July 13, 2010 Thanks Gorda! You will definately get there, But it is a very slow process as I'm sure you already know I have great restriction. I am at approx 5cc's.. I have had a few unfils due to reflux and being too tight. Fills are the key for sure. Actually I never do crunches, lol. Actually besides walking every now and then, I don't excercise .. I know I need to though! Share this comment Link to comment
