I only lost a little over 30 lbs so far. It's been slow but successful. I just had my 3rd fill the beginning of August and I see a jump on the weightloss. I have 6cc in my band right now. I go back mid september and hope to get another fill. I'm going to bust tail to lose at least 50 lbs before my anniversary date. But I'm extremely happy with the decision and I feel absolutely great!

I just got banded on May 29th and I live in Raleigh. I'm excited about my new journey. Oh! Welcome to Raleigh. This is my home town and I think you will enjoy it here.

The summer is here and it's time to get this band to work for me! Down almost 30 lbs, this summer I plan to utilize the long days and cool nights to get as active as I can and as much exercise as I can.

Hi Courtney, I was banded in Dec as well. To date I have lost a little over 20 lbs. I desperately need a buddy. I tried an exercise buddy but our schedules conflicted. My weightloss is slow which is what I wanted, but I've dropped about 2 sizes so people can see the progress. The fills work at first then in 2 weeks the restriction is gone. I'd like to find a buddy to keep me coming back to the site to check in regularly and someone to keep me motivated about exercise. The summer is close and for my b-day I'd like to be in a size 16. I'm currently in an 18 so I'm close. I figure 15 lbs should get me there. So anyone, everyone, please reply!!!! :smile: -
I have been banded a little over a month. I must admit the weight loss for me is slow even following the pre and post op diet, but I have no regrets. The pain for me lasted about 2 days and was tolerable with the pain meds. The food does get stuck if you dont take small bites and chew thoroughly. That feeling last a few short minutes. Dont drink fluids or it will come right up. Stick with it, it is well worth the pain. I have learned the band only adds assistance to weight loss and the key is what you eat and exercise. Good luck. Be patient, and be strong. There are more success stories with lap band than there are disaster stories. Remain optimistic and you'll be fine.
