Hi detroitdame75! I just received an appointment date of August 8 for my first fill. Isn't that neat? To answer your question, I guess the loss of 21 pounds is okay. I need to start exercising, which my body needs anyways, to lose more.
I was banded June 6, 2008 and I have lost 21 lbs. My starting weight was 318 pounds. I haven't had a fill yet mostly because I'm a little apprehensive about it. I chew and eat slowly with no liquids and listen to my band. I feel that a fill will make it really uncomforatable for me. I feel I also need to lose more, and I intend to by limiting what I eat. Thanks!!
