oldgiesser 0 Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) I am still here reading now and then just have not posted much. I have been on a plateau for about 6 months. I need to get motivated and get a fill and start to exercise. Terry Edited April 29, 2008 by oldgiesser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeskye 0 Posted May 29, 2008 Hi everyone just checking in on my fellow Feb. 2007 bandsters. My weight loss has been slow, but I am happy with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdbiles@sbcglob 0 Posted May 29, 2008 You've hit onerderland and that's great! I wouldn't consider your weight loss slow for a band. My dr has the band and lost 100, but he thinks that's all he's ever going to lose, but I don't believe that do you? He says he's plateaued. thank goodness I don't go to him for band support. My loss has been slow and I haven't had a fill in a year due to esophagus issues, but I'm hoping to get a fill in June. Have a great day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyjeans 2 Posted May 30, 2008 good luck with the fill Rebecca. You've done well without one. I've plateau several times. I takes me about 3 months to loose 5 lbs. Even with slow weightloss, I love my band! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marie.T 0 Posted June 3, 2008 Hi there everyone, I'm new on this site so still trying to find my way round. I was banded in February 2007. Glad to have finally found this site! We do not have any support groups here in Dubai so this is really it for me! I have lost 66 lbs since my operation. I have stopped losing weight due to being lazy and just not watching what I eat, hopefully joining this site will motivate me and get me back on track....:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marie.T 0 Posted June 4, 2008 I think the first thing I am going to do is call my Dr. and try to find out how much I have been filled etc...I honestly don't keep track. I never knew I had to! when I get all the information I'll post it just like you have Wally girl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teacher 1 Posted June 4, 2008 Hi Everyone, Teacher here, just wanted to post a quick hello. When I was first banded I couldn't get enough of this website. But, since I've lost weight, I can't get enough LIVING in to make up for the past Non-living I've done!!! Hope everyone is doing fine. Michele Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teacher 1 Posted June 4, 2008 Forgot to add my ticker.....I'm so happy with my weight loss. I still love my band. Can you believe I've only had ONE FILL. What a lucky girl I am!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyLee 3 Posted June 4, 2008 I glad you found this site, it's help me out alot with useful information. Maybe you need another adj to start losing wight again? Drink at least 64 oz of Water a day. :cursing: I have learned that if you keep track you can see what works for you. I was unfilled two weeks ago and wait until June 12 for an upper GI, then maybe at that time they will refill me again and I can start losing weight..... I hope this happens! PS. I need to start working out, this website has a place where we can go to join in on working out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rdbiles@sbcglob 0 Posted June 26, 2008 My band is frustrating me. After one year I had a good EGD and went in for my fill. I began with 2.6 cc and they brought me up to 2.8 cc. Over the weekend I began throwing up liquids and have acid reflux. I went back in and they removed saline bringing me down to 2.2 cc. where liquid would begin flowing again. The good news is no acid reflux, I can eat again and I still feel restriction. Over those 5 days I lost 7 lbs! Fickle, Fickle, Fickle! But it's all good.
