A thread for super-sized bandsters - starting BMI over 50?

Wow Weetsin, maybe you should look at them everyday to believe how far you have come. You look absolutely wonderful and that gives me hope. DeltaDawn looking forward to seeing your pictures too since you have lost over 100 as well.

Keep up the great work!:clap2:

Had DH take a round of progress pics tonight. Of course he cut my head off.

Here's just over 8 months and about 115 lbs gone. Or let's put it this way:

Before: Tight size 32 skirt, tight 26/28 shirt.

Current: Size "I" (equivalent to size 22) jeans, size 1x shirt.

WOW!!! what incredible progress you've made. :faint: you are such an inspiration to me!!!

keep up the fabulous job!

Hey Wheetsin, we are pretty much in the same boat weight-wise as far as where we started and where we are now. It's pretty cool!

But I gotta say...damn...your pictures are AMAZING!! I'm in a 22 now too; however, I don't look anywhere as trim as you. You're doing an incredible job! I'm impressed!

Hey You Guys Guess What????!!!!!

I Lost 10 Pounds At My Weigh In Last Night!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO

Wow, Teresita, I'm so happy for you that the scale finally moved down big-time. Congratulations, and keep up the good work!

Congrats to everyone! Everyone should be proud of themselves. Even 1 lb lost is 1 less then yesterday and heading in the correct direction. I wish i had taken some before pictures but I always stayed behind the camera. I have been getting fills regularily all along and i think I finally hit just over the sweet spot. I am really tight and can hardly eat much at all and have trouble getting even yougart down sometimes. Makes taking my pills in the morning fun! Finally! last month i didn't loose anything but did loose inches. Since the fill last week i am already down 3 lbs. Picture 2x4 upside head - I can be taught!

Teresita, wonderful loss. Congradulations...

Hi everyone. I went in for my first fill today and since I have lost 33 pounds in 7 weeks they didn't give it to me. They said, the band is a tool and obviously I don't need it yet. Next visit in 4 weeks. Can't say I mind, especially when I hear about people throwing up, and getting things stuck.

Thank you bluehill.

Northernsun you are doing awesome, do I need to go look for some pics of you or did you post any yet?

Sandranoelle that is what my doctor did also and I am so glad he did. I am actually learning what it takes to get the weight off and my band gives me that kick I need for the moderation. You are doing great, keep it up.

Hi Guys,

I too am having fill questions. I have done well so far, but I am wondering if I need the next fill? I am scheduled for a fill in 2 weeks (I have to fly to Montreal from the Arctic), but I am losing and am scared a lot of being too tight. I have had no problem with getting stuck or pb's so I am wondering too.

Any advice out there would be appreciated.

DD Do you get tight normally when you fly?

[DeltaDawn 0]

No I don't get tight when I fly. I am just wondering if I should wait on the fill... I am still doing well and expect to see a loss this week and suddenly I am thinking I don't need it and I can wait for a bit.

I will be down in Montreal again in January so I could postpone it until then.
