6 Months Out-How Much Have You Lost?



Recommended Posts

Hey All,

I was banded on 3/21/11 in Salt Lake City, UT. I was wondering how much you had lost by your 6 month mark? I am down 37 pounds. I am wondering if that is normal or slow?

Everyone is different, but I had lost about 50 lbs. by the 6 month mark. But in the last 4 months I've only lost about 10! So you're neither fast nor slow, you're on your own time. The important thing is that those 37 pounds are GONE!!!!

I had lost just over 50, but stalled out in last part of June due to an overfill............I think I just needed a break,(and my doctor's office said that it was OK -- the band is forever). I have lost about 6 more in the last 2 months --- ( almost 60 lbs in 8 months - PTL).

I have an appointment later this month for a fill to get me back on track. My last fill was in June. I thought I'd get aggressive and try to loose 20 more by Christmas. I am not even half way yet....but I feel no rush and am hoping the slow approach keeps my skin tight. (I am 48 years old).

I have a long journey, almost 150 lbs -- so I decided to take it slow and steady and enjoy the journey. I wish you a wonderful journey, too!

BTW - the thing below is inaccurate and i forgot PW to update.

I'm 8 months post op and down 47 pounds. scale didn't move much at all after the first month but I'm working out 4-5 days a week at the gym and clothes are falling off. Wish it were more but it's an amazing loss regardless. Congrats to all of you.

I started at 278 preop, was 260 the day of surgery, 6 mos is tomorrow and today I am at 198. So 62 lbs since surgery, 80 lbs overall. Actually 100 lbs since I really started trying to lose weight 2 years ago.

      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.
