2 weeks since my lapband
The way my doc told me with lap bands is the bigger u r the more weight u will lose at first and since I am on the border of barely had BMI of 40 I will not lose as much as u would say someone with BMI over 50.. so keep that in mind when u feel u r not losing..
MY band was the smallest they make and the doc told me it was very very very lose on and I have no restriction except what maybe from swelling.. so losing 7 lbs was good from post surgery I have yet to lose anymore weight and he said u will probally not lose much more tell your first band fill.. which is may 31
He said on week 4 post op and when all the swelling is gone u r gonna be really hungry and not to uncommmon to gain some weight back ..
He told me be patient I will do fine and will catch up to my hubby who had the RNY 2 to 3 years.. it will be slow but I will lose .. Hope he is right LOL Be well Lisa
