Banded July 2003

SW: 330pds and lost 105pds. Was originally a size 24/3X and now size 14/16. Lowest was a 10/12. Kept it off for over a decade and gained 20pds recently which isn't a big feat to lose. Only had 3 fills over the course of being banded and I honestly love the fact that I have complete control and I can tolerate all foods and I know when to walk away from a plate on my own.

Love???? love hearing good band stories. As you can read it is not for everyone and many are not successful. And perhaps non compliant? Don't know.

A common thread seems to be keeping the fill in our bands a bit low. I just read many posts of dehydration

And sleeping upright due to tight band issues.

I'm very thankful I was one of the

" lucky " ones that seemed to have good long term results. It has changed my life for the better and certainly for the healthier.

For me the three times my band was super tight were not very pleasant. My band and I are at our best when it has less Fluid in it.

I am very grateful for the tremendous opportunity to live a healthier more active life.

I just have to make more good choices than bad.

I have lost 10 lbs in 4 days scary. I'm feeling like I can eat anything though just in small amounts. My trouble right now is not eating whatever and sticking to the post op diet. broth sucks lol. This is going to be an amazing journey and I'm very excited for it.
