I'm a guy about an hour northeast of DFW.Commerce Tx.Feel free to lean on me a bit.Ive had my 10cc realize band for about 2years.I lost a lot of weight for the first year.Then in January of 2012 I had a fill to 6.5.I was complacent up to fri October 12.Then I went in for another fill.im sitting on 7.5cc right now.I do work out and I lift heavy.So I don't know if my weight gain could be attributed to that.I feel good and my friends say I still look good or even better.So this has been my life changer and story.I think this last fill will hopefully put in my sweet spot.By no means am I an authority on this.Still practicing to get it right

Congrats! I have to admit, I am a bit jealous. I got banded 2 weeks after you and I have only lost 30 lbs. At times I feel defeated and often feel under motivated because of the lack of loss, but I do realize that we all will lose differently. I just keep telling myself that I will have that success story to tell one day. Heck, 30 lbs IS a success story so far!

I am with Kamisha on this. Have you been in to the office to get a fill? If you haven't in 6 months or so, I would say to make an appointment and have them measure what is in your band. It may be that you have had some "evaporation" (their word, not mine) and so you just need a little fill to take you back to that green zone.

I'm in Webster (right outside of South Houston) but moving to Katy area as soon as we can find a place, as my boyfriend got a job in that area and the commute is ridiculous! I'd love to meet people around here! I'm 23, have an almost 3 year old, stay at home currently, getting banded on October 12th (next Friday!). I'm on MyFitnessPal, username is FallonB!

I'm in Houston. Actually Clear Lake area. I was banded by Dr. Reilly at True Results in June 2011.

Been struggling lately but hoping to get back into the gym now that two of my kids aren't having baseball 5 days a week.

I'm on Facebook but I don't publicly share that there, as my boss is my friend and not a lot od people at work know. Feel free to friend me but send a message saying you're on LBT. I'll be happy to share my experiences via email, text or private message.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
