I am only a few days behind you, but from what I have read this is totally normal. You haven't had a fill yet, right? Anything we lose between now and the first fill is a bonus. It is only after we have our fills and our restriction that the band is doing its job. Hang in there...

The first 6 weeks are for healing and healing only. You shouldn't even worry about weight loss, just getting everything all healed up and ready for a fill. Your right, everything lost now is just bonus. Just be patient.

Normal, normal, normal, normal, normal, normal, normal.

Got it? NORMAL! :cool:

What's not normal is 26 lbs in 9 days!! That's three months' worth of loss right there; if you don't lose another ounce until next year you'll still be ahead of the game.

Congratulations on your banding!!

I am so happy for you, wish I could say the same for me. Had mine done 02/08/2008 and have only lost 14.5 lbs. in all these months, am hoping another fill will help me along...keep up the good work!
