Joyce Real 21 Posted January 30, 2012 that is AWESOME!!! i was banded on 12/16 and I'm not having much luck with my weight loss... That is because you are still in the adjustment stage, I was banded in October and still needing an occational adjustment. Give yourself time! Please do not be discouraged. It is a slow process and your time is coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GermaineF 25 Posted January 30, 2012 thanks for your words of encouragement, b/c I'm sooooooooooo discouraged. I sit here day after day reading all the success stories and I'm happy for each and every one of them, but then i look in the mirror and ask why can't I have that success? I go for my 2nd fill on 2/15, I hope I can get some restriction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tams45 2 Posted January 30, 2012 Germaine....boy is this a slow process but hell we didn't gain the weight overnight and we won't lose it that way. Be patient it will come, some weeks/months better than others. If you fall off the bandwagon jump right back on the next day...Your new you is coming girl STAY STRONG and Kat09 good for you ...I was banded Sept 14th and started at 320 and am now down to 257....I have good days and bad, I stay off the scales everyday now and only do once a week...I am geting my third fill next week, i now have 6.8cc's in a 10cc band and feel alittle more will take me to that "zone"....Congrats All 1 bandedgirl2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
