May Bandsters!

[Bandedlauren 18]

Hey guys, so I am super close to my 3mo post op point! I feel amazing! I am officially down 36.5 lbs! I'm 5'7 and started at 244lbs with diabetes, joint problems, and gaining about 5lbs per month. I knew I'd be well over 300 by the time I graduated college and wanted to make a change! If you were banded in may, what is your weight loss and why did you decide to have lbs?! (even if you weren't banded in may, I'd still love to hear from you!)

Congrats to you! My date was May 14. I am also down about 36lbs, start weight of 227.

That's great! I was banded on may 11th.

I was banded May 25th, started at 255 and now I'm at 234lbs. Just had my second fill this past Friday and I'm hoping by my next appointment at the end of August I will weigh 220lbs.

I was banded May 11th as well. pre op I weighed 271 and this morning I weighted 236. I go back to the doc August 9th for my 3 month check up. I decided to do the surgery to help my health, I was tired of the roller coaster ride and what is was doing to me. I prayed for over a year and what do do and I believe God answered my prayer with the band.

May 21 was my date. Started at 240 down to 210. Feel great, started couch to 5 k last week so it feels good to move! I've had 3 fills and have restriction now. I love this band and hope I can make the most out of the opportunity I've been given! Good luck to you! BTW I am 49 years old. I believe the younger bandsters are brave and smart to do this early, enjoy your youth as a thinner healthier person.

God definitely answers prayers! He did mine for sure! That's so funny that we were both banded the same day, and my 3mo post op appt is the 9th as well! I will be getting my 3rd fill!

Wow, everyone is making great progress toward a healthier lifestyle! Hopefully we May bandsters can stick together!!

I hope I get another fill I feel as if I'm not in the green zone yet. How much are you eating per meal? Let's be friends and stay in touch since everything is about the same. I have a 10 CC band and have 5 CC in my band now.

I am probably eating about 2c per meal. I should be eating around 1c. I have 5.5cc in my 10cc band and I really think that .5 more cc's will put me right where I should be! Maybe ask for 1cc on the 9th and see what your Dr. says. We should definitely keep in touch!

Banded on May 25th with a starting weight of 234. Current weight is 208. I am 5'3 and last year I weighed 262. I lost some weight on my own, but I started to gained it back, so I decided to end the yo-yo cycle. I have had only one fill so far. My decision to get the band was based on my desire to live a healthy lifestyle. I wish you the best on this journey.

I was banded May 30. Starting weight 309 and I now weigh 277. I did the surgery for my health and family and I wasn't happy with how my weight holds me back from doing so many things. I starting to take control of my life:)
