How much weight did you lose up to your 1st bandiversary?

[PharmaGirl 0]

Interested to know how much weight people lost in their first year of being banded. Would be great if people banded for more than a year would respond to the poll.

Whoops - there's a small error in the poll - the third option should say 30-40lb!

My bandiversary will be the 29th and I have lost 70 lbs so far. I was hoping to lose at least 100 lbs by the 29th, but thank God I was able to lose the 70 lbs. I just need to stay focus.

Congratulations to all of you so far! I am on track to lose 70 lbs by my 1 year anniversary. I will be very happy with that. It has been a slow but steady process. I've very happy with my decision to be banded :scared2:

My one year anniversary will be 9/30/10. I have lost 70 lbs so far and hope to loose 87 by then. That would put me in ONDERLAND at 1 year out. I would be thrilled with that. Frankly I am thrilled about where I am now! Best decision I have ever made!

I lost 90 pounds by my 1 year bandiversary and was pregnant by then too! However, the 90 pounds put me under what my doctor wanted me at and I am now having to work on gaining a little.

Only lost 38lbs by my 1 yr. anniversary. Lost more but gained it back, lost my mom, suffered health issues, lacked motivation, etc....but no excuses, NOT GIVING UP! I determined to hit the 100 mark by my next surgiversary in April 2010.

Slow and steady wins the race. For me its more like a marathon, just gotta make it to the finish line.
