The Band? Any People from April get the band

Just wondering, did anyone on this April site get the adjustable band. I had mine april 23, 2004 and have a -50 weight loss. How are you ding?

Sorry, I didn't, I know there is a message board just for people with the band, I wouldn't know how to find it. Good luck and congratulations on the weightloss. Dianne 340/243/150?

Hi Elizabeth, I think there are a couple of banders, but not many. We would love to hear about your progress though, and I hope you will continue posting. If you are looking to talk with other banders, try this link: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/surgtype-forums/LapBand/posts.html Take care, Rachel

Thanks Rachel Yes I do take part of the Lapland forum, but it would have been nice to see if anyone else had the surgery around the same time as I did and how they were doing. Sometimes it's hard to relate to people who had the RNY surgery because their experiences are slightly different. They loose weight much more rapidly and have to deal with body image and changes so much faster then we do. Thank you for your encouragement. Regards, Liz 4/23/04 257/208/140

Hi Liz, It's nice to see another bandster here! I've looked at this forum a couple of times, but never posted. I was banded April 6 and am down 55 pounds. Love my band! You're right - sometimes it is hard to relate to bypass patients because of their very rapid weight loss. Sounds like you're doing great! Becky Banded 4/6/04 -55 pounds!

Hey Liz! Long time, no see! As you know, I'm a Banster too! My surgery was 4/26, and as of two days ago, I'm down -60 pounds from surgery (about -85 from my highest in January 2004). Good to see you here! Staci LapBand 4/26/04 267(highest)/244/184/140-150 Goal 22/24 starting size / 12/14's Current size / 8-10s Goal

Staci, Wow ofcourse I rember you. You are definitly full steam a head. Sometimes, it makes me wonder how you were ever over weight to begin with. I give you tons of credit! Curious- what are you up to in CC's I'm up to 2.3 and my weight loss is at a stand still. Part of me thinks that I should get a little fill but the other part is scareed that I will be too filled and turns towards junk food because that make easy to go down. what do you think?
