How are you guys doing with your weightloss? How much is in your band? How is your restriction? What is your biggest challenge with the band? I seen someone post this for oct and enjoyed reading it. Its good to see how others are doing with the same month surgery date. It gives you a boost..If they can do that then I need to try harder.. It helps me stay on track. so come on November bandsters how are you doing???

Hello! I was banded Nov. 17th. I have lost about 23lbs which I would never have done without the band, but I wish it were more. I am sure I could be doing better with the exercise, but I manage to find lots of excuses not to go to the gym! I just had my 4th fill and am feeling pretty good restriction, but I can't tell if I am at the sweet spot that everyone talks about. My problem is that I love junk food. I have been pretty good about staying away from it, but it calls me by name and goes down so smoothly! Part of my craving is stress. My dr. is thinking about putting me on an anxiety med. We'll see...

Good Luck in your journey!:wub:

Hey there...there's a large thread for those of us who were banded Nov of 09. If you look under the Monthly Lap-Band support groups forum, and then go to 2009, you should find november in there. Good Luck!!!!!!!:wub:

Hey I was banded Oct 29th and am down 80 pounds so far! I am thrilled. I have had four fills getting fifth tomorrow. i have about 5cc in my 11cc band. Restriction isn't the greatest but way better than pre band. I need to get on track with my Protein and Vitamins though. I fell way off the wagon. Congrats on your success.

I was banded Nov. 16. I have lost 58 pounds. I have had 4 fills, some working better then others. Restriction has been off and on for me. I have 7ccs ( I think) in a 10cc band. I have been doing well with excersise- cardio 5-6 days a week and weights with a trainer 3 days a week. Thanks for the thread- it was nice to post my progress.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
