I was banded 5/16 i lost 20lbs 1st week and 7lbs during 2nd and 3rd week i havent lost a pound since!! I stay the same no gaining no losing i follow my diet about 1000 calories a day and i have 3cc in my band this is really frustrating!! I really dont think this surgery is worth the money it cost seems like a hassle anyone could lose 27lbs without surgery!
