State: Tennessee | For Those Who Have Been Banded for about 1 Year
Pre-bander, here!
Just wondering how much weight you have lost in one year.
Some are trying to convince me to get the RNY because "you lose weight so much quicker."
I don't mind losing slowly; in fact, I prefer that.
BUT--I'd like to at least lose 40-50lbs in a year. If it takes me two-three years to get to goal--so be it.
What's the most you've lost in one year--the least?
Thanks!!!!

| I'm down about 75 pounds in a year. :clap2: I can't be happier with my results. I still have about 25 more to go, but slow and steady wins the race, right? :D

| The band AVERAGE is 50-100lbs the first year. This all has to do with what choices you make, food-wise, the exercise you choose to do and the amount of water you are willing to get in every day. Of course, you're own metabolism plays a huge role also and any medications you take could have some effect on your weight loss also. Mostly, it's up to you and your choices. :)

| I am 10 months and have lost 34 pounds. Talk about slow. Realistically, I could lose another 16 pounds in 2 months, making it an even 50 for the year. Hey, that's a great mini-goal! Thanks! Anyhow, like you, I don't mind slow, but the green-eyed-monster burns my a$$ occasionally at quick weight loss, banded or RNY!
If you don't mind slow, and appreciate doing the hard work yourself, including the head work! then banding is a good option.
Hey, I am clueless about French...what does your sig say? (is it even French?!)

State: Tennessee | Kathy--
34lbs in 10 months is still not bad--I was always told that 1/2 lb to 2 lbs. per week is the best way to lose weight. 34lbs. puts you at above 1/2 lb. per week--more like .85 lb per week--almost 1 pound per week.
To me, that's great!!!
Yes, it is French. :)
I can do all things through Him (Christ) who strengthens me!!!

State: Oregon | ....'weight loss' is not the goal IMHO....'HEALTH' is the goal....
I spent 4 months going to RNY support meetings before I managed to get the Band approved....
While they ALL said they would do it again, they ALL have issues I didn't want to have to deal with....
A Bandster Buddy now 4 years post Op told me he was in a mixed group for a while....but they finally had to split because there was so little common ground between post-op issues....
I'm satisfied I made the best choice for ME....your mileage may vary....make sure you do your research and get all the answers you need...

City: NSW State: Australia | Hi
I have been banded 10 mths and have lost 62lbs, but could have been more if I exercised and skipped chocolate 3 times a week.

| I'm down about 103# just 15 months post-op but I've plateaued for the last 3 months. I got lazy and learned too well how to eat around the band for the holidays. But I'm back on track and hopefully will start to see my scale moving in the right direction again!
