lastlaugh 13 Posted November 29, 2016 My stats? I'm guessing what I weighed? I went from 265 size 22-20 to 155 size 8-10. It took a long time, because they wouldn't give me fills sometimes. Over a year. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subie66 6 Posted November 29, 2016 You look amazing! So did you stick to low carb- exercise? did you lose it over one year or several years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ljones4521 4 Posted November 29, 2016 That's awful they wouldn't give you fills! I have never heard of such. Congrats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lastlaugh 13 Posted November 29, 2016 I am new on here and don't know how to reply to an individual. Yes, low carb, because my band won't let me eat breads. And I do work out five times a week. Yes, they wouldn't give me a fill a couple of times, and that was very frustrating. They told me they wanted me to do it on my own a little longer, blah blah, finally I went in a had a different guy that gave me my final fill and I lost the last 40lbs.

Subie66 6 Posted November 29, 2016 When you got the final fill- how was it? did you just know - that was it? do you PB a lot? I have had numerous fills and just never have gotten to that point yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gowalking 10,790 Posted November 29, 2016 You look great. I'm almost four years out from being banded as well. I've gained back about 20 lbs. from where I was most comfortable, but surprisingly, I've heard from others that I look better with a little more meat on my bones. I'm working on losing at least 10 of those 20 lbs. That should make me feel better about where I am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jules50 2 Posted December 3, 2016 I was happy to ready your time frame as I am in my 7th month and still have only lost 10 lbs as you have said your Dr was slow to give you fills so is mine. I find when I exercise I am staving and then eat to fast and sometimes get stuck. It really is a learning tool to use over a long period of time. My stats? I'm guessing what I weighed? I went from 265 size 22-20 to 155 size 8-10. It took a long time, because they wouldn't give me fills sometimes.
