You should fill out your profile so we can better answer your questions.

If you were just banded 2 months ago, 27 pounds is good. That's an average of 3.4 pounds a week. The band is average is 1-2 pounds a week, so you're already losing faster than expected.

Some doctors don't want you to lose more than 2 lbs a week. In 2 months you are down 27 lbs which is a great weight loss. Congratulations.

Stay steady on your eating habits, pick up some walking and inches will drop off first, then your weight will come down. It's a slow process and we all have to learn to eat properly. It's for us and good health for our future.

Keeo the faith.

27lbs is great, considering 6 weeks out of the 8 you were in healing mode and not alot of people lose during those 6 weeks. You weren't eating enough for your metabolism, so that pretty much shut down. I was told first 6 weeks don't expect weight loss. I think 27lbs is good. I also think that you should have had at least 1 fill.......bring it up with your dr.

so losing 27 pounds isnt working for you?

hm, appears to be working in my opinion.

Thanks guys.... Idk I thought it was supposed to be faster. I'm heading to the doctor now and I'll mention the fill. I'm happy I'm down... Don't get me wrong I just thought it would have been more. Where do I go to fill out my profile?

wOW.... 27 POUNDS IS AMAZING. I'm losing like 3 pounds a month now, talk about going nuts!

Every single pound is a victory in my book! Don 't let it get you down cuz that won't help anything.

I'm just over 2 months out, and I've only lost 14 pounds, so you're doing great! My dr said I should be losing 1-2 pounds a week, so you've far exceeded that! Perhaps they haven't given you a fill yet because you're losing so fast? Definitely ask you dr about it. I know what it's like to see the scale go down and not feel it much, but it'll happen!

Oh yes, 27 pounds is a lot of weight to lose in such a short time! You are doing awesome, so just hang in there and keep doing what you are doing. Actually, your doctor should not add Fluid to your band, unless you are not losing or gaining weight. You are doing great and I can't wait to hear about your upcoming successes!
