monakj 0 Posted August 2, 2008 Hi lacie I was banded on 7-28-08 start weight 286 as of today 249. This a slow journey so I have found the key is patiences. Also measure yourself I am losing inches I went from a size 20 jeans to a 16. Although I would like the scale to say lower numbers it's just not going that way what was your start weight and how much lost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plevy 0 Posted August 2, 2008 Hi Lacie--I was banded on 7-17-08. I have had a lot of trouble with the stretching and pulling feeling of the muscles around my port. Also sleeping (but I think that's because I can't get comfortable. I'll keep in touch and you do the same. I live in Slidell, Louisiana and had my surgery at The Surgical Hospital here.:wink2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
