Hi everyone, My name is Tracy and I was banded June 3, 2008, I have lost to date 148.2lbs. My goal was to lose 150lbs the first year, I do not see a problem with reaching my goal. I started out at 373.2lbs. My new goal is to weigh 190lbs......so I have 35lbs.....well it will be after the loss of the 1.8lbs to reach my goal of 150 lost. I joined a gym in January of 09, I also got a personal trainer to help me. When I first started with the trainer I weighed 264 so I have lost 39lbs the last 4 months, which is about 10lbs a month which is on track. I am doing really well and should have had this surgery a long time ago. I feel better, have more energy, look better, I am now in a size 18 I have not worn a size 18 since grade school......no lie and I am 49 years old. It will only get better from here. I wish everyone the best of luck with their journeys.

I was banded on June 3, I have lost 43lbs. I had my first fill on July 1, 3cc's then my 2nd fill on July 21, 2cc's. The 2nd fill has been a pretty tight restriction have had a hard time getting anything but liquids, soft foods down. Not getting all my protiens in, feeling pretty tired, pretty excited about the weight loss, hope it continues.

I was banded on June 3, I was on pre-op diet of high protein low carb and lost 11 lbs before surgery. I have since lost 15.3 more lbs. Should go for first fill the first or second week in July. I am now ready to start walking or some form of exercise daily for about 30mins to help with the weight loss.

I am in Austin Texas and getting banded on Tues June 3. I am looking forward to it so I can start my journey to a better, healthy life:tongue:
