Monthly Weight Loss Report

[stacy73 2]

Redgirl...I agree with Kagoscuba-also, your fills seem to be modest compared to others-ask your dr how much you have-or request the records- I have heard some drs are more aggressive than others-it may take some time but you will definitely lose- (weight, that is)-my loss has been slow for the last month- I have lost about 6 lbs in one month-which I guess is normal-but some others lose faster-I lost most of mine pre-op and right after surgery.Just take a couple deep breaths, one day at a time-this is a journey-if there is anything you need, let me know!!

After losing big at first then hit a plateau, starting to lose again.

No fill scheduled yet.

Am down 31 since 9-21-07. Am scheduled to see my surgeon on 11-13 and may still not have my 1st fill. My espaphagus swelled up 2 days post op and was re-admitted for IVs for dehydration and for steroids to reduce the selling...fine since then, but Doc said that my band was tight....I do get hungry but that's when I'm lacking the Protein and I can definitely feel it.

Plus I was going to join a gym and do Water aerobics but currently have a toe ulcer being treated by a wound center, so Water is out for a few weeks.

Have been walking tho....just adopted a greyhound...Misha!

So I can't really complain of losing 31 lbs without serious exercise and no fills!

I was banded Sept 18th. I will not be able to get into my fill Dr until November 29th. I must say that I was so concerned with gaining all the weight I lost pre and post banding that I joined a gym and I have been working out 3-5 days a week for an hour and eating low carb to curb the hunger. It is very frustrating when most people that were banded in September have already had their first fill maybe even second. However, I can't change how busy the local Dr. here is and he has been off for 2-3 weeks on vacation. My luck! I am going to hang in there and try and lose a few pounds on my own. Everytime I feel like I am getting nowhere I just think how far I have come....24lbs is nothing to laugh at and if I didn't get the band I would probably have gained.

Girlygirl,

24 lbs is nothing to sneeze at!!

Just think of a 20 lb sack of flour and a 4 lb sack of sugar that your body doesn't have to lug around anymore !!

Keep it up!

I was banded on Sept25th. I am going to schedule my first fill for the 28th. So far Ive lost 30lbs! Pretty awesome, I think. Im trying for 299 by Christmas.

[Lucylu 0]

I was banded on 9/26 and have lost 21 pounds. I had my first fill on 10/26. I haven't noticed any restriction and can pretty much anything. I had another fill scheduled for 11/30 but called my doctor to see if I could get in next week. I really really want to feel restriction. The good thing is most of my weight loss has been due to exercise and a modified eating plan.

Keep up the great work everybody - you are doing great!!

I am so jealous. Look at all you girls....and boys (do we have any?) go. I was banded 9/27 and have only lost 16 lbs...I'm stuck. But no fill yet. Dr had some scheduling issues. He likes to fill at 4 weeks. So I am scheduled for Monday the 19. I look forward to not being hungry. I can't eat what I used to but too much for having gone through all of this.

Congrats everyone!!!

I was banded on September 26th. I am going to Dr. on Monday, November 12th. I will hopefully get my first fill then. I am so excited. Everyone is doing great! Keep up the good work!

Hello eveyone,

I had my first fill and I must say after looking at everyone's weight loss , I'm not doing to well I've lost 11lbs total. I have started the gym last week I went 3 days and worked out for 30-45 mins so hopefully this will help. And also I have a concern about mt restricion after being fill the Doc said he put 6ccs....but I think it had to been more like .6 right? I still feel pretty hungry but when I do eat I feel like something is getting stuck in my back, kinda like if you eat to fast and feel like something is stuck in your esphogas is that call restriction? I mean I don't feel full just something weird also I think I've been PBing cause when I feel that feeling alot of saliva comes up.....any advice would be great

My surgery was on September 19, 2007....My presurgery weight was 318 and today I weigh 266 for a whopping total of 52lbs so far with no fill. I go back on December 11th and the Dr. said if I am not losing weight he will do a fill then but so far he is very pleased with my progress and so am I.....
