SheShe 0 Posted November 7, 2007 :whoo: I have made it to 2 months out today! woot. It seems like just yesterday I was attending the Seminar and going through all the motions to just get approved. As of today I have lost 40 lbs. 5 were last month, Not as good as I anticipated but 40 lbs is outstanding:scared: I feel a million times better. Eating is no different then when I wasnt banded, other then that fact that I eat much less then before. Its great! I love my band!:kiss2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darr5380 0 Posted November 13, 2007 :whoo:That is wonderful. My two months will be on the 21st. I have only lost about 17 lbs, but have lost more inches than I expected. I hope to be under 200 soon. I started at 219 and am now 202. I had my first fill about two weeks ago and now I feel like I might need another. i'll wait after Thanksgiving. :clap2:Happy for you!!

Kimmie 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Yeah...today is my 2 month bandiversary! I'm down to about 285-286 ( I need to update my ticker). That puts me at a loss of 44-45 pounds! Woot! I've got another fill Tuesday, so hopefully that will do more damage! Woot! I noticed yesterday, I pushed myself harder at the gym...and I seemed to have lost a pound. Could be mental...so we'll see tonight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
REDGIRL 0 Posted November 15, 2007 I feel really bad, I was banded 9/5/07 and only lost 5lbs. I have been very patient with my dr. but he is really getting on my nerves. I got a little restriction on 11/12/07, and hoping that it will finally give me enough restriction to lose the weight. He doesn't tell his pateints how much fill he puts just to be patient. and I have, but reading this thread is fustrating! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sagebird5 0 Posted November 19, 2007 Hi. I'm at two months today too. I was wondering if the 'pre' surgery weight is included in everyone's totals? I've lost 14 since surgery but 30 before, so I don't know how I fit in..? Right now I don't feel like I even have a band! I've had one fill and looking forward to my next one on 12-14.

melanieinportla 0 Posted December 6, 2007 I am also two months out. I got my second fill today. My first fill I got 3cc's, and today they gave me another 3cc's and it was too tight-- i couldn't drink a cup of water- so they took out 1 cc. So now I am at 5. I was 300lbs at original consultation, and 280 by surgery date, and now 264. It seems that I am slower than most who post here. But it's coming. m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redgirl, I'm shocked that your doctor won't tell you how much he is putting in your band. That is something you need to know in case of an emergency. I would insist that he tell, if it were me.

It does seem that time has passed rather quickly, hopefully we all will be at goal weight before we know it. Keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
