Again, sorry I don't post all that often but I'm still here.

I'm still at about the same weight for over a month myself. I'm bouncing between 218 & 220. I have a Doc/s appt on 8-26 and hope to get a fill. I'm sure I need it. I noticed that I can eat more than I should before I feel full.

I'm going to try to break below 200 by the end of the year.

It sounds like everyone is doing very good, if their losing slow or not.

Just hang in there,

Don

Hi Everyone. Went in for my second fill today and was told I didn't need any. I'm still losing and I don't get hungry. It will be 19 weeks tomorrow that I got banded.

Way to go! Keep up the good work. Doesn't it feel wonderful?

You're doing GREAT, Don! Can see a big difference in your profile picture. I want to hit "ONEDERLAND" by the end of the year, too. How about a challenge!!?? How's your wife doing?

Thanks to everyone on this forum for helping me decide that the band is for me. Big day is 9/3 and it can't come soon enough. I've gained and lost the same 85 lbs six times. Just the thought of losing it forever makes me delirious.

Hi Srenee99,

Congratulations You will not be sorry you made the decision to get banded.

Hi there everyone. I've been so slack at writing. Maybe because I'm losing so slow and really don't care. I feel good and never gain. I'm in Fanwood, New Jersey with my daughter for awhil, maybe all winter. Her MIL lived with them and babysat and she broke her hip, so need to recover. It's good getting to spend time with my eastern grandchildren!

Hey there,

You are doing fine. The point is for your weight to go down, to get healthy and to feel good! You are doing all those things. We don't all lose at the same rate. Obviously we have different life styles. Keep doing what you are doing.

Hi Sharon It's good to hear from you, again. Enjoy those grandkids during your visit. Who knows maybe chasing the grandkids around will make it easier to lose a few more pounds. Don't give up!

You are doing a great job. Slow is good.

Hello all,

I just wanted to send a quick "thank you" to everyone on this 60's thread for all the insight, help and encouragement you have given me (and each other).

After a bit of a traumatic post-surgery time, I am now doing a lot better. I have lost 27 lbs (hey, concidentally I was banded on July 27!). Guess that may be my lucky number:tt1:!

I have an appointment with my surgeon on Sept. 8th and he will give me my first fill then. I am finally on my way!!HOORAY!

Thanks again for just being here and posting very helpful and informative info!:biggrin:

Hi everyone,

Just had my 3rd fill (0.5cc's; total 3.5) and have finally started losing again. My Doc said I lost 4 lbs since last time. I did not think I even lost that much.

I'm going to try to to get below 200 lbs, that's 17 or more lbs by the end of the year. It sure would be nice to get rid of that 200 number.

Glad to see everyone it doing well. Pre-op people, your time will come. I did not think my time would ever get here, now I'm 10 months out. Hard to believe.

until next tome to all us losers, that's a good word here,

Don

Hi Skinny 42, glad to hear you are doing good, I had my LB on Oct. 24, 2008 and I have lost a total of 35 pounds, I have 5.5cc in my band and I'm not sure if I need another fill or not. Keep up the good work, you'll make it.
