Hey there thanks you for the comments. The 15 pounds was my best since getting the band, I just tried to do a little more when I exercised or walked or anything like that. I also started using a calorie tracker which really helped me out. Dont get discourged it took me 8 months to just get to my sweet spot
Good Luck and keep up the great job, -
Thanks for the comments. You are going to do great!!!! my best advice is to not get discouraged. this is a life long process. I had a fill every month for 8 months straight before I got to my sweet spot. GOOD LUCK.

:w00t: Thanks everyone!!! Well for to start off I increased my activity just a bit. for instance if I went to the gym or walked or anything I tried to get myself to do just a little extra each time. I figured every little bit would help. The other thing that I contribute to the good month was COUNTING MY CALORIES, and tracking every little thing I ate. I was really suprised to see how fast thing added up. So for the most I just tried to make better choices. The band just helps me keep everything in check.

Well I did it, LOST 100 + pounds. Had a really good month. Lost 15 pounds this past month. I feel great, The Lap Band is the best thing that I could have done for myself. Updated pictures are coming.

Hey, I know everyone is different but I had almost 8cc in my 14cc band before I had any decent restriction. I am currently at 10.4cc and just went to the Dr today and this is the first month I have not had a fill in 9 months. so jut hang in there and watch your food. Counting my daily calories really has helped me quiet a bit especially when i wasnt having great restriction.

I didnt have to do a caloric journal but my nutrionist wanted me to write down my daily foods I was eating and turn it in to her every month, I will admit that I fudged some of the entries because I didnt always write everything down. I felt that they just wanted to make sure I was willing to change my habits. I lost about 25 pounds during my six month supervised diet.

Sorry forgot a few things
I was banded on July 9th 2009, so I am at about 9 months. So when are you hoping to get everything done? -
Hey sorry for the long delay in getting back to you. I do not regret it for one second I really wish I had done it sooner. I am doing wonderful as far as weight loss. I am right now at about 100 pounds or so lost. I go in next week to weigh in at the office. I feel great am looking good too
I am off all 8 of my meds I was taking which is the best feeling in the world. I agree with you on Dr Wagners staff. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!

Looking great, keep it up!!!!!!!!!! -
Well I finally did it!!!! Got over that stupid wall that was in my way. Lost 12 pounds this past month and feel a lot better. I have currently lost 42% of my excess weight. Dr told me that 40% is where I should be after 1 year. well I am happy to say its only been 7 months. Found my new best friend at the Gym - The ELLPTICAL MACHINE :thumbup: Not sure why but I was always intimidated by it. well that is it for now and I post as things happen.

Help; not getting full
Thewall26 replied to delta27's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I have only one thing I can tell you based on my my own experience. I did not got any real restriction until my 6th fill. I was just patient with myself and my Dr. I finally got there and I am finally losing weight after hitting a wall. Just keep telling yourself that it will get better and nothing is going to happen over night. The same thing happened to me once I was able to eat solids. I went to taco bell and ate 2 burritos and tacos and was like what the heck am i doing knowing it wasnt right. You will get to that sweet spot it might just take awhile. I have the AP large with 9.8cc in it and just got to my sweet spot. You will do great!!!! -
how many fills to get to your sweet spot?

FINALLY After 6 months since surgery I think I am there. I have the AP Large Lap Band and currently am at 9.4cc's out of the 14. Can finally only have a few bites of food and actually feel full :thumbup: Whoooo Hooooo -
Just checking in to see how you were doing. Sorry its been so long. I have hit a wall with my weight loss but I am still not restricted yet, I am close but not close enough

Hello there just came across your profile, and I was also banded by Dr. Wagner on July 9th. Just wanted to say hello and see how things were going?
-
Hey just came across your profile, I was banded by Dr Wagner on July 9th and am excited to see someone closer than St Louis
How are you doing? -
I am currently a Dr. Wagner patient as well if you need anything or have any questions I would be more than happy to chat.
-
Hey Michelle, How have you been doing? Its been awhile, How were the Holidays for you, Not the greatest for me
I go in tomorrow for a weigh in and hopefully a fill still not quite there on my restriction but I think this next one will help out lots. I m am close -
THANKS!!!
You know it isn't that bad, I have my days where I can still eat whatever I want, BUT I am still in the early stages, and my restriction is ALMOST THERE. Mine was covered by insurance. I would do some research into your insurance though. When I called mine to ask they said it was excluded too, but after investigating a little further I found out that if it was a MEDICAL NECESSITY then it had a chance to be covered. Just a thought!!! You know how insurance compiens can be
Well with the great staff my Dr had it ended up being covered so that was a great thing. I did contemplate mexico if it didnt get covered. Also I did find a place in Denver Colorodo that does them as well and does them for around $9000 this Dr. wanted to make it affordable for people without having to go to Mexico. If you ever have any question or just want to chat about it just let me know.
