Looking for people banded June21/07

Hi, I'm new to this site! I was banded by Dr Yau on June 21! I go for my second fill on August 21/o7. I was wondering how much weight should I have already lost. I've lost 27lbs. since my surgery. Should I be losing more?:cry

I was banded on June 21st by Dr. Cobourn at the Surgical Weight Loss Centre (Mississauga) on June 20th of this year. I have lost 33 pounds - pretty close to what you have lost. Most people lose only slowly or not at all during the first month post-surgery (when you are healing), and then at the usual rate of 1 to 2 lbs. per week. So I figure that losing 16 pounds over the past 8 weeks post-surgery (which is what I have done) is right on target. The three or four other people who I know where banded at around the same time have lost similar amounts.

I think that we all lose at our own rates, and much depends on where you originally started (the more you have to lose, the faster it comes off initially).
