My first fill has helped some, but I plan for another in a month or so. I hit the 20 pound mark today. I worked hard for that one!!

Hang in there.
Hi Bobbil, I was also banded on 4/21 and down 16lbs the first 6 weeks, at first I thought it should be more but then again I didn't gain it over night. My doctor was also happy with my loss. Since my first fill I have dropped a few more and my energy level is awesome. And that does count for something. Click the image to open in full size.Click the image to open in full size.

How are you feeling? Better than I have in several years! I have more energy and drive, which helps me get off my butt and excercise like I should.

Banded April 23, 2008
Lost 25 lbs before surgery from liquid diet
Nothing lost yet, just getting started
Just got my 2nd fill today, which was a big one, now I think Ill have restriction.
I have been rather depressed. I thought I would have lost quite a bit by now, but haven't. I also have Reactive Arthritis and have been having alot of foot pain. But my family doc changed a med for me which seems to be helping both with depression and pain. So....Im doing better and am optimistic. :biggrin2:
