Hi Everyone,

I was banded on 12/17/10 in Cooperstown, NY. Surgery went well....no pain! It's been 8 weeks now and no weight loss. Trying to figure out the eating part. I have been told Im not getting enough Protein so I have to figure all that out. I eat less and healthier and excercise so Im not sure what the problem is. I was also told it takes a while to get to the "sweet spot" and to be patient! I only need to lose 60lbs and was hoping to have started losing some by now! I know I need to be patient! I have had 2 fills and go for another one tomorrow. Hope the Dr. put more in. I haven't had anything get stuck or anything signs of having this thing in!!! Hope to learn more on this site! Thanks everyone for sharing!!

Mary

Mary, not sure what you are doing, so If I suggest something that you are already doing, please accept my apologies. Are you doing a detailed food and exercise journal? Are you supplementing your Protein since you are not getting enough via food?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
