DSimm730 0 Posted January 29, 2013 I LOVE this thread as well, the doctor that is in my area [i moved] (not the Dr. that did my surgery) is so negative towards the band, and I miss my old Doctor! He actually told me that losing 100lbs is not the norm, but I have proven that is not only possible but maintainable. There is not a lot of support from his office, so that is why I joined this group! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted March 16, 2013 Who has lost a 100 pounds before the lap band failed them, or before they had to have another surgery or revised to another surgery. Just wait, it will happen. I am so sorry because I believed just like you. I hope you have a long run. Wow this is what, the 5th thread you've spammed with pure crap? Seriously, grow the heck up and find a hobby besides acting like a troll. 2 Deehar1 and Cazzy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrenBird 11 Posted April 26, 2013 Hi Awanda, If your band has failed, that's unfortunate. I'm really sorry to hear that. Bringing other people down to your disappointment isn't the answer though. I've lost 154 lbs and I did it in a few years time. I'm happier and healthier then ever. If the band didn't work for you, then maybe you need to find another forum to complain on. 3 kyrasgrandma, Cazzy and Deehar1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfc193 718 Posted July 17, 2013 IVE LOST 140 AND STILL LOOSING!! I'm almost 5 yrs post op, its been VERRRYYY slow, but omg SOOO WORTH IT!! Congratulation it has been very slow for me too but indeed well worth it. I lost over 150 lbs in a little over two years but then after a complete unfill in year 4 I gained about 50 lbs in a little over two years but have lost 30 lbs since January. I will be going to the DR tomorrow for a check up and possibly a small fill in my 4 cc band. 1 Deehar1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skb123 308 Posted July 24, 2013 I have lost 175 however it was pre lap band, just getting it today! Want to keep off what I have lost as well as lose more. So away I go! Bought a new maxi dress the other day and the clerk said why are you having this doe you don't need it. B eut I still see myself at over 400 pounds. They want me to take body imaging classes so I guess I will when I am close to my goal. Got to run my ride to the hospital is on her way! Blessings! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbbanded 70 Posted October 18, 2013 I'm down 114 so far. About 50 to go! 2 Mcrutchky and Watchershrink83 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowalking 10,790 Posted December 8, 2013 Well...I can finally post here. I got on the scale this morning...as I do every Sunday morning and it said 166.8. That means officially I am 100.2 pounds down from my pre-banded weight a year ago. I have a goal on my ticker of 150 lbs. based on my doctor's suggestion but I have no intention of changing how I am eating and will let the scale stop wherever it naturally does. If I lose more and go below 150, great. If I never lose another pound, still great. I met my goal already. I'm able to buy clothes in stores other than Avenue. I'm in misses sizes and not plus sizes. I lost enough weight to have my hip replacement surgery and am still healing but in a much better place as far as pain and mobility. I can see progress every day in terms of my mobility and it is like being reborn. I look normal now and no one stares at the fat woman anymore. I want to send my thanks to the band for helping me to get to this point, and also to send my thanks to the folks on this site for providing the inspiration and support I needed and still need to succeed in this journey. 2 blondegal_ and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
