Hi my name is Ann and I'm a Slow Loser

Hi all,

Not only am I a loser but I am a slow loser. Sounds like an insult to me.

Anyway I was banded on 12/13/07 on that day I weighed 248lbs. I last saw my doctor on 5/6/08 and my official weight with him was 228.

20lbs thats it...

At my last visit I reached 6cc's in my 10cc band. I have a lot of restrictions with it so I hope I have reached my preverbial "Sweet Spot". I'll keep you all posted to see if this is in fact my sweet spot. I go back to the doctor June 10.

I just want to lose as fast as some of the others. Its discouraging.

I totally feel your pain. I was banded on Dec. 26, 2007 and I haven't lost much weight either. I just had a fill last Thursday and I can barely eat anything. I have already lost 4 lbs in 1 week. I know its hard not to get discouraged but hang in there and eventually you will see a difference.

Best wishes to you and yours!!!!!!!!!

I actually saw this because of your name Mine's Ann D. too! I'm losing slowly now... for me I might not be motivated enough right now.

I'm right in the same boat with you. I was banded 11/1/2007 and I've only lost 35 pounds and I've had four fills. I still don't have the restriction that I think I should have but I do have some restriction now. My problem is my doctor does fills under flouroscope & I can only get in about every 12 weeks. I don't have another fill appt. until 6/30. I have not lost any weight since the first 6 weeks after my fill. I get that you are discouraged cause we are rowing that boat together sister!

I'm a slow loser as well. I was banded August 2007. I was down 30 pounds. It's extremely hard trying to lose even with the band. I've had one fill and that was last november. I will be having a fill done this Wednesday. I'll keep you posted.

Hang in there -- slow losing is still losing, and the pounds add up eventually.
