Yayforme 0 Posted January 3, 2009 I had my surgery back in September and right now I am at a loss of about 33 pounds. So how much weight did you fellow bandsters lose when you were 4 months out? I know everyone loses differently, but Im just curious as to what other people have lost compared to what I have. Thanks!! :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noosagirl 0 Posted January 3, 2009 I was banded 3rd Sept, had 5 fills up to 7.5cc in a realize band and have lost 25 pounds. I had lost 29 pounds but put on 4 pounds the last 2 weeks due to personal issues and eating and to escape. But its a new year and its full of possibilities and lots of adventure for me. Happy New Year EVERYONE!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkinnyKathy 99 Posted January 4, 2009 I had my surgery back in September and right now I am at a loss of about 33 pounds. So how much weight did you fellow bandsters lose when you were 4 months out? I know everyone loses differently, but Im just curious as to what other people have lost compared to what I have.Thanks!! :tt2: I was banded just one day before you (Sept 9) and I have lost 38 lbs. I certainly haven't been perfect on this diet, so I know it would be possible to lose faster, but the way I am dieting I know I can sustain, and that is much better for me in the long run. It took me a long time to gain this weight, it will take me some time to lose it, but I hope to lose it forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curvesincali 0 Posted January 4, 2009 I was banded on Sept 5th and I am 32 pounds down. I think we are all in the same neighborhood of weight loss. Congrats on you loss so far. Curves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
becky0599 0 Posted January 6, 2009 I had the band surgery on October 29, 2008 and as of 1/6/09 I have lost 33lbs. I was thinking the same thing that I should have lost more. I was thinking though in the past it would have taken me 6-7 months if not longer to loose 30 lbs so I am happy with the loss I have had with the band.

mamalovell 0 Posted January 7, 2009 I was banded on August 18th, I have lost 60lbs since then total loss is 84lbs. My only disappointment is that at my last Dr. appt for another fill my Dr. said I was losing a little to fast and that no fill was needed. But I still eat about 1 1/2 cups of food some days and other days I can only manage 1/4 cup a meal. I thank God for this band it has truely changed my life. I feel so good.:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
