I've lost 96lbs since February 1st of this year. I was banded on February 13th. I started out at 325 and today I am 229. It's taken me 11 fills to get here. I have 13.15cc in a 14cc band.

I have lost 61 lbs since May 27th of this year. I have yet to have a fill. I started out at 396lbs and am right around 335lbs. I do go to the gym regular, and even though I eat small, I still watch what it is I eat. I think it is time to fill though, food is going through very fast now.

Its a year tomorrow, and I have lost about 117 lbs. Would love to lose another 5 but if it never happens, that's cool too.

I was pretty luckly only had two fills - can still eat everything, just not in the Fred Fintstone quantities I used to.

Wow, these are some great numbers. congratulations. I was banded January of this year and am down around 50 pounds depending on what I call my start weight. My restriction as been very difficult to get but I am now on about my 4th or 5th try and have some restriction. My big issue as been drinking alcohol. Not only is that empty calories that add up extremely quick it also leads to reckless abandonment when making food choices. I am committed now and hope to make great progress. I am at 329 and trying. Good luck guys!

I was banded February 18, 2009. I started at 285 and am down to about 202. So that’s about 83 lbs in just over 5 months. I have gone from size XXXL shirts and 44 pants to L shirts and 36 pants. I don’t exercise much. I eat between 900 and 1500 calories each day with three meals and rarely any Snacks – my hunger and energy levels are fine most of the time. I have 3.6cc in a 10cc band and currently feel great (maybe a little too tight) restriction. I started with a BMI of just over 37 and am striving to get to 24.9, which is in the normal range. At the rate I am going, I fully expect to be at goal within the next 2 months.

These figures are encouraging for a guy my size. I am praying that I lose weight quickly, but safely after the surgery. I started at 489 & have gotten down to 425 so far. Due to be banded in August, but it is tentative for the time being because docs are trying to discover why I am slightly anemic. We shall see.

Pre-op, my steady rate (ie, discounting spikes) was about 3#/wk. Post-op, it's around 3-4#/wk. Since April, I've lost 66#, 26# of that since my surgery on 30 Jun.

I'm 5'10, started at ~345# (BMI 50), and was eating around 1700cal/day for 2mo pre-op, and doing 45min walks nightly. Post-op, I'm doing about 500cal/day, with 45-75min walks about every other day (I need to increase that, but the weather's just been too damn hot and humid, and I've been having to tube-feed a sick cat). No fills yet, though I will PB if I go beyond about 4-5oz of solids.

I will be two (2) years in Sept. Iam down over 80 lbs. I was 250+. Just got blood test back from the doctor and all my levels are in the normal range. Have not had any problems with my gout and BP is normal also. Clothes wise Iam down to a 34-36 depending on brand etc. Also off of CPAP as well. I do use it sometimes but not all the time now. Had a sleep study a year ago and everything was normal with that as well.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
