| 7 months out now
I am 7 months out today and I hit the 100 pound mark yesterday!! I can not believe that 7 months ago I weighed 100 pounds more than I do now, it's unreal!! I am loving my band. My goal is getting closer and closer. It feels so wonderful to shop for regular sized clothes, to not worry about fitting into movie theater seats (not that I get to go to the movies with 6 kids ..lol) or restaurant booths, to get compliments everywhere I go and to just feel good about myself for the first time in years!!
Hope everyone else is feeling just as good about their bands!! Susan

Hi my name is Ruth. I am just now in the program and soon to be having the lap band. Was it hard at first to get used to the diet? How long did it take you to get used to it? I am very excited about all this. I have been overweight all my life. I am so ready to be healthier and happier with my body.
Thanks for listening
Ruth

Congratulations on your weight loss!! You should be very proud of yourself. Can you share what you have done to lose your weight. What types of food-a typical daily menu.
Thank you.

While my lost is not as dramatic, I am equally as happy with my result as I am only 24 lbs. from my goal weight/re-lost all but 6 - 10lbs of that which I had gained before my 1st band failed. I am also very grateful.
__________________  My 1st band: 4/29/04 (LapbandVG -77lbs @ 9cc) from Duke WLS (Durham, NC) after 30 mths out (-77lbs BMI= 27) on 11/3/06 = 100% LEAK (pinhole defect at the intertube of band); so after 12mths +40lbs, self-paid for band #2.  My NEW APs band: on 10/17/07 w/ BEST & WORLDCLASS Dr. Voellinger (Charlottle, NC)...+2hr op but not even brused. [As of 5/23/08 fill to 7cc in APS: 206/ 174/150]. BMI=28 Deut. 31:8 "...do not be discouraged." ...but at times like these, what a trial.

WAY TO GO!!! I am at the 6 month mark and am over halfway to my goal with 80 lbs of me left in the dust.
I flew on an airplane last week and I could not believe how much of the seatbelt strap I had to tighten. Before- I would just pray that it would click so I wouldn't have to ask for an extender :) It was awesome!!!

I am 7.5 months out and almost at 80 pounds loss and it's been great. I'm buying clothes at regular stores instead of big and tall stores. I went to a big wedding this past weekend and rented a tuxedo and people I hadn't seen since before the surgery were amazed. All night long people kept coming up to me and shaking their heads in disbelief. And I got pulled onto the dance floor by two attractive women!

Congrats to all on your losses! I think that we are all doing great. Everyone is different and loses weight at different rates, it is important to remember that as long as the scale is moving down, we should celebrate. I for one got burned out and had to take a break for a couple months, I actually didnt diet or work out and still lost 1 pound per week, now I am back on track and expect to see a big loss. I got a fill yesterday and am now at 10cc's in a 14cc band. Still on liquids until tomorrow but I am not hungry at all.

What a coincidence if she is one in the same
