Was banded on this date and really did not have any problems except the gas in my shoulder. My original weight was 272 pounds. I lost down to 258 pre-op over a period of 6 months.
I was banded December 14, 2005. I am looking forward to this skinny person that wants to come out. I have been overweight for over 30 years but feel this is my chance.
I have just discovered this site and it has been valuable to me. My weight loss seemed to be very slow and I needed to know other experiences out there so I joined. I have been banded for three months and did not have a support group but feel by just reading the post I have discovered a whole new world of information.

I think I have found my sweet spot also. I had a fill on March 7th and I too am eating baby portions. Before that I could eat quite a bit of food but felt a little restriction. when I went for my fill the DR. was disappointed that I had only lost 4 lbs in 6 weeks so I guess he must have decided that he would make sure the band worked me instead of me working the band. I feel good and have lost 6 pouns since 3/7. I must say that I am so glad that I had this procedure and I can see a bright future. I wish I had done it sooner.

I tried on a size 16 dress today and it fit. Still in 18 pants but I guess the dress was cut differently. I have learned patience since I have had my lap band. I no longer worry about pounds lost but the way I feel and the clothes that I fit into. Pounds don't matter. My goal is to wear a regular 14 instead of women. That was women's 16 that I tried on. I figure that by my 1 year banniversity I will achieve my goal.

I have not been doing well with my fills and have gained a few pounds but I will not give up.
