Banded 6/12/09 and dont' think its working!!
andjhd replied to suthern_gurl83's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same problem 4 month of no weight loss... i was so up set with my self that i call my dr and said i need to come in. LOW AND BEHOLD i had air in my band. so we thought i had it at 8.4 when actually it was at 6.3 so i had no restriction, we took all out and started back at 8.4 now i feel tight you can tell the difference. You might be as restricted as they think. -
Teresa i feel great even though i have gain a few lbs all in all i have had 4 fills and and very proud of my 39 lbs that i have lost i still get frustrated but i need to buckle down . I feel like i should be further along, but i also need to start excerising more thats the key. keep going... and stay focused...

I was banded also in November and have lost 41lbs i feel like i should have lost more kinda dissapointed. I got a fill yesterday and on liquids and am hungry i know it will get better i hope. Just keep measuring thats supose to be the key.... keep me posted on your journey. remember we didnt put on overnight so it will not come off over night Tracie

good luck. You will do great
-
Your not alone, I'm at 6 months and have lost 41 some times I feel like i should be further along. But try to remember we didnt gain it over night and will not lose it over night, and also people lose weight differently some slower that others. Seek some help and keep on loosing at your pace. Good luck

Glad to hear your doing well I'm at 6 months as well but only down 40 or so but happy with that.

A question for those who are at goal or close to it
andjhd replied to Dreamjeans's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For me I'm half way to my goal have lossed 40 at 6months banded. I feel great. There are times I feel like I should be further on, but then i realize that old saying i didnt put it on in a day and wont take it off in a day. I think people lose at different paceses so I keep telling my self that for me I'm doing great.. I dont feel that I'm treated any different, but i know its out there, so keep on loving your self and move. -
we all go through the flat mark.. I'm 3 months post op have lost about 40lbs. but have stalled in the last 3weeks, like you, i know I need more excericise. Just keep telling your self you can do it.

I just don't think I can do this.
andjhd replied to ReadySteadyGo's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm going throught the exact same thing, I'm 3 months in and have only lost 38 lbs and nothing in the last month. But I HAVE LOST 38lbs I know what your feeling, but we did not put the weight on over night and it will not come off over night. My hardest part is being patient, just try to get into a regular excerise pattern and try to stick to it, use it as a YOU TIME. Dont be up set if it doesnt come off right away, muscle weights more that fat. Hang in there, and remember you have many friends out here who are going through the same things, and we all can do it. -
Hello everyone 3 months banded have losed about 35 lbs and seem to be at a low point have not losed anything in 3 weeks:cursing: I just got a fill 2weeks ago and still can eat anything, ive noticed ive been slowing progressing over 4oz at a time and an worried about streaching my band. any sugestions how common is this or is it?
