I was banded on 6/27/2011

and to this day have only lost 5 pounds (But only because I was not able to keep anything down for 2 weeks) I have never met "the sweet spot" I either could eat to much or sometimes I canot eat at all, it now has been six months since I got my band

8 fills now to a total of 10.5 cc on my 14 cc band

I was banded on 01/13/2010 and since then have lost 65 pounds. I have not lost very much over the last year because I am also dealing with hypothyroidism and that causes me to gain weight. I don't have health insurance anymore so I can't go back to my surgeon for a fill to give me any more restriction, so now I have to make other changes to start the weight loss again.

I have just under 80 pounds left to lose, my 44th birthday is today and my gift to myself this year is that I plan on losing 7-10 pounds a month for the next 12 months.

I was banded Feb 23, 2009 and lost 79 lbs post op (124 lbs total) by December of that year. Then I met a guy, fell in love, moved in with him, quit exercising, quit following all of the rules, and gained back almost 50 lbs! Yikes! Did I mention that he is a chef?? LOL

I tell my story because it's easy to get discouraged when you see people losing so FAST and it feels like you are barely moving. But SLOWER weight loss is more permanent weight loss! I lost really fast - 124 lbs in a year - and promptly gained a bunch back. So take your time, learn to make the lifestyle changes, go slowly enough to really ingrain them into daily life, and you will make it! If you keep following the rules and exercising, you WILL lose :-)
