Just wnodering how everyone is doing? In the 7 1/2 months that I've had my band I have lost 48 lbs. It seems a little slow, but I feel great. I don't think that I am at my sweet spot yet, but maybe with the next fill. Hopefully the weight will come off steadily, instead of 5-7 lbs. in one week and then nothing for the next 4 or 5. That gets kind of discouraging, although there are probably some things that I could do better to help with that. I even bought new jeans today and they were a size 13 in juniors. They were a little tight but it want be long before they are perfect. Hope everyone else is doing well. I would love to hear how things are going with everyone else. Good luck!

Hey Jen! congratulations on the weight loss!

I was banded on February 10, and have lost almost 60 pounds. I try not to weigh myself between fills. I know I could be doing better, but the important thing is that the weight is coming off and staying off. I feel fantastic physically, but deal with the emotional issues surrounding food. I knew I would have too, but I wouldn't trade any of this. I'd do it all again.

I can feel my collarbone. I don't get tired walking any more. I take up less space, and it can only get better.

I'm not sure what it is about our group, but February bandsters seem to be scarce. There are a few of us around, but I think many of us have just gone away. It's kind of sad, but some of us are still here.

Congratulations again, and the best of luck to you!

Debbie.

Thanks for the reply. And Congrats to everyone. You have all done great! Can't wait to hear about what others have to say, not that I compare my self with others. Just like to hear how others are doing.
