4/23/04 LAP BAND'S HOW ARE U DOING?

i HAD a lap-band done 4/23/04 I've been slow at loosing- but learning abunch a long the way- how is everyone else doing? started 257- now 230 What are you eating during the day? and how many fills have you had? I'm @ 1.8 cc

Hi Elizabeth! Long time, no type! Well, I had surgery a few days after you (4/26), but I'm down 40 lbs. as of Monday (and maybe a little more since then). I'm exercising AT LEAST 3-4 times a week, but more like every day. I haven't had a fill yet (I had pretty good restriction right from the get-go), but am scheduled for one on 6/24. Kind of nervous about that actually, because I'm afraid to "fix it if it ain't broke." I admit, I'm losing quite quickly, almost as fast as an RNYer, but I believe the exercise and the restriction help a LOT. If you're curious, here are the rest of the stats: Age: 33 Height: 5'0" Highest: 267 Surgery Weight: 244 Current Weight: 204 Old Clothes: 22/24 & 8W shoes New Clothes: 14/16 & 7 shoes Goal Weight: 125 (but will take 135 in a HEARTBEAT!)

Wow Sounds like you are doing great good for you. Curious- what are you eating during the day? I'm a sweet eater- no where near as much as before but still once in a while.

I posted about this very thing today. Head over to the LapBand forum. My post is entitled "Addendum to Update".
