Some of us are at or past 4months post op..How is everyone doing? Me, I've having some issues. Wouldn't be having them if I didn't have to have a hystrectomy 2weeks ago. My OB cut my tubing to my band!!! OMG another surgery in 4 weeks to repair that. So I;m just trying to keep my spirits up. What are you up to?

I will be in the hospital in 3 hours

At this point I don't think it matters how slow you are running - you're getting exercise. If you were trying to build muscle or "get fit" then actually doing it in a set time would be key; however, your goal (I assume) is weight loss. I just had a discussion with my doctor last Thursday and told him how much I hate getting sweaty. He looked surprised and told me that I didn't need to sweat, I just needed to move. He explained that just the effort of walking at a normal pace for a sustained amount of time would do me much better than going fast and getting sweaty and feeling like I'm going to pass out. So now I take the dogs for a walk around the park and come home instead of getting on the treadmill and trying to kill myself

Hello all, Have lost 45 pounds up to now. Go for a fill on Monday, which I need as I haven't lost much this month. As I get closer to my goal the weightloss has slowed. I walk 4 miles 7 days a week which has really toned the body. I have had very few stuck episodes and mostly with chicken that I haven't chewed enough. I am happy with my progress and with the band.

yolanda good luck I am right behind you getting it tommorrow!!!

Banded April 7th and I have had 3 fills and lost 43 lbs so far! I think I am @ restriction, I try to work out @ leat 3 times a week. I am happy with my decision to have this done.

I have only lost 16 pounds since surgery, but I don't have much restriction at all. I like losing the weight slowly. I think it will help with the loose skin thing, which could be an issue since I'm over 50..

Hey, that really sucks! Good luck with getting it fixed. I was banded 13 April here in Australia and have enjoyed really good weight loss (60lb) until the last week or so, now it looks like I have plateaued. I am just pushing on with monitoring my diet and exercise and hoping that I will start losing again soon. I have good restriction so am fairly confident (but still suffering the nerves of, "oh, what if this is all there is for me!")
