lea2015 1 Posted November 9, 2008 HI Salome, I am with you I feel hungry all the time I was banded 9/18 and have lost 16 lbs. My 1st fill is 11/12 I hope this helps. I know it will be a long journey but well worth it. Do I have regrets? NO WAY, I have lost 16 lbs that I would not have lost without the band. Good luck to all, we can do this!!!

showboatgirl 0 Posted November 10, 2008 I have been banded for 3 years. I have no regrets about being banded. I started out at 241 pounds and now weigh 183 pounds. I was about 15 pounds lighter last year, but I gained some weight back. Even with the weight gain, I have lost over 50 percent of my excess weight. Last Friday, my doctor thought I should get a fill, and I think it is helping. I don't have any complaints about my band. I hate to think about how big I would be if I hadn't been banded 3 years ago. My sister was banded the same day as me. She has done about the same as I have done. We both have lost weight before--but have never kept it off for 3 years. I was terrified of the surgery and the life change, but I am glad that I went through with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
