Hey Tammy.

I was banded in dec and have just lost a little over 30 pounds. It is going much slower that i expected but atleast i am losing. I just had my 3rd fill last week, my doctor is very conservative with the fills but i guess in the long run it will be better for my overall health. But right now i am losing faith.

Looks like we are all in the same boat. I was banded 12-29 and have lost 30 lbs. 22 of it was in the first 4 weeks on the liquid diet. I am getting another fill

next week, and I am hoping that will get me losing again. I am rather disgusted.

Tammy, the search feature here will point you to even more threads about December bandsters, just use advanced search and search for thread titles with the word December in them. Here's a few specifically geared to December 2006 bandsters. Hope this helps!

I was banded on Dec 14th 06 and have lost about 60 pounds. But recently I have really fallen off the band wagon as far as watching what I eat and exercising. I am a junior in college and when I was at school usually had time to go to the gym for an hr/ hr 1/2. And since our food was crappy I didnt really have to worry about overeating! But now that Im home I work 11 hour days, and have 4 hours once I'm home to cook clean and spend time with my fiance. So... it kind of leaves me in a rut and I'm starting to get depressed about my slowing loss.... Maybe its just the 6 month thing...we all seem to be a little down these days...

Don't get discouraged! Just try to eat the Protein first. You have lost twice as much as me. I just got another fill yesterday and I don't think I can eat yet.

Do you think another fill would help you? I really didn't want to get one, but now I see that's exactly what I needed.

Hi Tammy & everyone else!

I was banded in Dec. '06

I just had my 2nd fill last week. I don't understand why I still don't feel much restriction. I haven't been doing well with my eating. I'm able to eat way too much. I can't wait to get to the "sweet spot" everyone talks about. I had oatmeal this morning, a big salad for lunch and rice with hamb. tonight. (The problem is: I still snack all day)

I think I'll try the South Beach plan or maybe counting calories. I realize that it takes more than this operation to lose the extra weight...I NEED TO CHANGE MY THINKING ABOUT food.

I've lost 30lbs. I hope to start losing again.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
