I had my surgery on July 20th and intially lost 24 lbs. I had my first fill on October 10th and have had bouts of throwing up buy have not lost any weight and during the holidays I have put back on 12 lbs. So I have basically gone through all this pain and expense to lose a grand total of 12 lbs. If I had it to do over again, I would just find a good alternative diet and maybe spent my money on Jenny Craig or something. This has been a total waste of money and time...:whoo:

Do not do it, find an alternative. It is painful and unless you are committed to dieting the rest of your life, it will not help you lose weight. It was the worse decision I ever made and if I only knew then what I know now, I would not subject my body to having a foreign body put in it and I am seriously considering having it removed. Worse decision I ever made.

Thank you for your encouragement, I get to start eating a little bit of applesauce tomorrow. YEAH! How much do you want to lose and WOW on the 21 lbs...

I am approaching my second week since I was banded and have lost 14 lbs. I am ready to get back to eating however...tired of liquids and soft food..
