Hi I was banded 10/2010 with a start weight of 272, after a slow start I am now 149 and loving my new life. There were times that I truly wanted to give up, I would read how others were losing so much wt and I couldn't lose more than 35 and I was so upset with myself. But I was able to get past that and this year which I started at 227, ended up turning out pretty good. I buckled down and followed the food rules, and was able to kick start my weight loss. So as motivation I can say that you will love the way you feel when you lose the weight, and the way you see yourself will change your life forever. Go for it, and you won't regret it.

Well all I can say is that I understand and feel your frustration, my scale is stuck on the same number for over a week no matter what I do. This is so frustrating, I'm gonna start going to the gym this week and hopefully that will help.... I'll let you know. I think sometimes what if the band slipped, and I get freaked out because I dont want another surgery

Hello, I was also banded on 10/20/10. Yay!!! So far I'm down 28 lbs. but it feels slow on some days. I am trying to battle the "head" hunger but its very hard at times. On some days I am able to eat more than others, and I feel thats not good. I had my first adjustment on 11/23/10 almost 3 cc's but I dont feel that restricted.... I get really frustrated with myself but I'm glad I can come here to read what other people are going through and in that way I feel a little better because I know that I'm not alone. Just remember that this is for the rest of your life and be positive.. we will all get to our goal weight soon...
