Hello all,
I had my LAP-BAND® surgery done on June 16, 2008 and a port revision done November 19,2008.

I started at 226 lbs and now weigh 195. The majority of the weight came off before the surgery during my two week liquid diet.

I would like to hit 135 as a high goal weight, but at this point I am focusing on breaking through 190.

I have refocused and started tracking my foods more carefully and really trying to be more accountable.

I have my 4th fill this month on the 22nd - hopefully that will get me just right.

Anyways, just wanted to share and introduce myself

Hi Babbs! I'm new here, too. Since I have less than 100 lbs to lose now, I thought I'd pop in here.
It's so great to be able to share information with others that are going through the same things! I have learned a lot by reading the threads on this site.

Hello Amy and Cindy!

I had a third fill today, I have a 10cc band and now have 5.5cc in it. Feeling good over all and getting good restriction. Now I just have to get up off of my tush and go get on the treadmill! I am trying to pysch myself up for it :)

Regarding your slow loss... I too lose slow and sometimes am jealous reading about how much weight some people lose in such a short period of time. I was banded in April of 2008 and finally reached ONEderland this morning. EXACLY one and a half years later. I'm glad I'm not the only one who loses slow!
