I was banded in Nov 07. I lost 125 lbs. by Nov 08. Then my mom became sick and passed away. Did not have time to go for a fill. I have gained 40 lbs and am going for my first fill in months tomorrow. I am extremely nervous about going back. I am upset that I have gained this weight back.

July 13th at 10 am!

I get to change my life and I have a life to change. I am so excited and can not contain it.

The work is coming but so is the adventure.

Cheers to all you bandsters!

HELLO GUYS,
I HAD SURGERY ON 6-9-09
I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW MUCH WEIGHT DID YOU LOOSE THE FIRST WEEK AFTER YOUR SURGERY.....

I became a bandster in 07 i lost 68lbs inwhich put me at a size12 and 165lbs i have a 4cc band and have only had 2 fills now i can see the regain of inchs and about 9lbs over the last year i think that maybe i became comfortable with my pant size and stop getting fills i still feel some restriction however no weight loss is there anyone out there that restarted their fills after a few years post-op please help

I had my LAP-BAND® surgery on 3/31 and I have lost a total of 31lbs, but I have not changed sizes yet. I figured by now that I would be able to buy smaller sizes, but I have,kt even had anyone say anything about my weight loss except my mom and husband. No one else knows that I had the surgery, but I would have thought that after 31lbs there would be some difference. I'm getting a little discouraged!
