I went for my 2nd fill (now have a total of 5cc in an 11cc band) and the offical scale at my doctor's office said I am now down a total of 28 lbs. I think that is great...wish I was seeing numbers like the rest of you are posting...but 28 lbs. in just over 2 months is amazing!!!!!! My doctor said that my 10 lb. weight loss in 27 days was excellent and he was proud of me...isn't that cute!
BWT...I still feel like I have NO restriction with the fill. This is really just like being on a diet. I wish it was MORE of a tool.

I hit 50 lbs lost today!!! Of course this includes 20 lost during preop phase. I was banded on May 19th but didnt have my first fill until this week due to wound complications. Not feeling restriction yet. I think the three days on liquids and mushies after the fill helped put me over the top. I do agree that right now it just feels more like a diet. I know that I cant eat as much as I did preband, but before my fill I could eat just about anything without a problem. Havent tried real solids since the fill. Have a great weekend everyone

I was banded May 13th. I have lost 50 lbs so far, including the 25 lbs I lost pre-banded. I've had two fills and I'm up to 7.25 cc's in a 14 cc band.
I feel awesome and my body is really changing. I'm fitting into old/new clothes (those clothes you've had for years, but still have the tags on them - you know the ones!) and I've given away the clothes I've grown out of and bought some cute new tops and dresses at Ross (hello - losing weight is expensive!).
Now that I'm wearing clothes that FIT me instead of my baggy clothes (umm, they didn't used to be baggy - I was pushing the limits of a 30/32 blouse - yikes!) - I'm in a 3x, sometimes 2x, people are really starting to notice. From the women at work - mostly glares and I get looked up and down a lot from the guys saying, "Wow. You look nice today!" and "Why so dressed up?!" (my response is - it's just a dress and I actually have legs. LOL) it's been the shot in the arm I needed to continue plugging away at this LAP-BAND® lifestyle.
I've gone from a 30/32 top and 18/20 bottom to 18/20-22/24 (depends on the top) and 14 bottom. I'm feeling better than I have in years!
My collarbone is even making an appearance. ;) LOL

Another 10lbs abandoned; 60 gone for good. I am also exercising more now than ever, AND I finally have restriction.
I am looking forward to the next couple of weeks! I am traveling a lot, but I found that I can easily manage while on the road. Bring on DC, SF, and PHX, all within 2.5 weeks of each other. RAWR!
Good job to all, keep it up!

OK. So it's been a month since I've posted here. I didn't realize it. It's been a busy month....
I went for my first fill on 8-6. 2cc was all he put in. That was a strange experience - but not painful, which I was worried about.
Anyway....
I was banded 5-29-08. As of today I've lost 28 pounds. I've gone from 271 to 243!
