Hola all, I was banded on Oct 3 2005 and have lost 25 pounds I was very disapointed and would not give up... I have had 4 fills and this last fill DID IT!!!! :clap2: 2.7 in a 4cc I now feel restriction after about 4-5 ounzes of food. WOW I had also started exercising in Dec. and can now do 60 minutes on the treadmil walk/jogging. I am down to a 16 from 18 :biggrin1:. I have been coming to this board since the beginning and cannot thank you all enough for the encouragement. I know I will need you again. I can do this we all can. My girlfriend just got banded in Dec and is in that early no restriction phase. I mkeep telling her it will happen. For the newbies Please understand this is not a miracle cure I am working HARD...but the band really is helping not give up after 4-5 months like I did all the other times I dieted and lost weight. I have to look at my life differently now. I have to think like a thin person and it is changing everything I can't wait until I Forget to eat. WOW can you imaging food not being the entire foci of my universe. :hail:
Gracias again you all make this so much better for me
