Anyway, I was banded on May 8, and as of today have lost a total of 20.5 pounds!!  | you go girl! i was banned on the 05-05-08 lost 22pounds so keep up the good work

Down 84lbs as of yesterday which was 5 mos bandiversary. I have been trying to loose 1/2 lb so I could be @ 299lbs for the first time in many many years. I have been fluctuating 2-4lbs for the last week and still have yet to get to that 299 mark. I will make it very soon I know. This experience is awesome. It feels sooo good when someone says how good you look. Everyone keep up the good work.

Wow, that 7 pound loss is fantastic! And the inches. WEIGHT TO GO!!!
I'm down 38 as of today. And if my knee would heal, I could start to move again! So frustrating.

You are going so so well! Good for you! I know just how you feel....I have 199 as my goal even though sure, I'd like to get down much further. I set my first goal at 199 so I don't make a goal impossible, and so I can SEE MYSELF BREAK THAT NUMBER!

I weighed myself today and I am down another 5 lbs.!!!!!!!!!
That brings my total to 22 lbs. -- but I won't change my "ticker" until my 7/02 visit to my doctor...that's the offical measurement in my eyes!

15 pounds gone!!!!! I was at a standstill as I started adding regular foods, but I started exercising and finally the scales started moving again! My mini goal is another 5 pounds off before going back to work in two weeks!  | |

Hi- I was also thrilled to go back to work after losing a lot of weight. I was off for 5 weeks, which is the best thing I could have done for many reasons. I went back over 30 pounds lighter. I loved that everyone could see it.

Well, I was banded on May 29, 2008. That was 19 days ago. I've dropped 12 pounds. It seems like such a small amount when I compare it to what others have lost so far, but I'm happy with that 12 pounds. I went a year without losing an ounce, and in 2 wks I've dropped 12 pounds. That's over 1/2 a pound a day.
I'd probably have lost more if I had gotten more exercise in, but because of work, and traveling for work, that was all but impossible the past two weeks.
But I visited the Dr. today. I'm released to do whatever I feel like. So there you go. Look out world!

Well thats not gonna happen , I do need a fill asap,So I am looking for a surgeon in this area do help me ,Any advice please is apprecciated
My BMI was 48 and my weight was 348 I now way 310lbs and loving life again I waited 9 mos for approval from my insurance and having COPD,
Hypertention, OSD and sleep apnea
I worked in the mining industry for 19 years where I got sick and put on so much weight from the steroids and not being able to breath so this surgery is wonderful for me .
