You seem to be doing great! But you really can't judge how you're doing with the band itself until there's something in it, right? I think those people that are losing 25 lbs the first month after surgery probably have a few things going on that we don't. 1. I think they may be having their bands filled as they're having the surgery. I know some doctors do that. Mine doesn't and yours didn't, but some do. And, of course if you've got something in the band, then the weight is going to come of quicker.

2. I don't know how overweight those individuals are. If they are way heavier, then the weight will fall off quicker. And, if they're heavier AND they've had a fill...well, then, yeah, the weight would probably be coming off that quickly.

And you've gotten through that first month with no fill and a weight loss! That's awesome.

So, how is it since you've had your fill? Can you tell a marked difference? How much weight do you want to lose?
