| 4 months out
Hi fellow Oct Bandies ;) I've not posted much lately, just lurking, but yesterday was my 4 month Bandiversary so I thought I'd post my progress. I've had 3 fills now, am up to 7ccs in my 14cc band. I have some decent restriction, could be a little more, but better than it's been. I have now lost 75 pounds and am well over half way to my goal now! Feeling pretty good.

banded on oct. 24th 2007, and just had my 3rd fill today, I have 1.75cc in a 4cc band....hopefully I will have some restriction this time.
I have lost 21 pounds, 15 in the frist 2 weeks, only 6 since surgery......why so slow???

I missed the rest of your post the first time for some reason. Yes, I've lost all but 5-7 pounds since my surgery date. We all lose at different rates and even my surgeon told me last time my rate of loss has been "unheard of" so please don't compare yourself to me or deam yourself a failure because you've not lost more ..you've lost, that's what is important! I don't know why you haven't lost more. ..could be you are still in "bandster hell" and don't have good enough restriction. Are you exercising? I exercise EVERY day! I'm also very strict about my eating. I don't know your particular situation but that is what I am doing. Hang in there, it will happen for you!!

75 pounds is AMAZING!
I am currently at 8cc's in a 14cc band and have good restriction. I was at 9cc's and couldnt get off of mushings, lost 10 pounds in 9 days and had to have 1cc drained out...it was killing me. I did not want to lose that way.
I am still working, wish I have lost as much as you! Was sidetracked with a kidney stone last week. YIKES, the pain is excrusiating.

And you don't have to tell me about kidney stones ...had one while I was in labor with baby #4 ..then had another and ended up having to have surgery a month before my band surgery! I know how AWFUL those are ..hope you are feeling better! Susan =n=n=n=n=n= Mom To: Hannah, Logan Lance, Hayden, and the TWINkies Mason & Morgan =n=n=n=n=n=

Susan, Do you really have 6 kids???? Wow, that's great! Now wonder you lost so fast. I have 6 also and when they were little I ran it off faster than I put it on. I have a grandson named Mason. I love that name but don't hear it often. Keep up the great work.
