Any Bandsters out there?

I had my band placed May 13 and have lost roughly 38 pounds since. I am ecstatic to be eating solid foods again and the first fill was EASY! How about you?

Hi Kristin! I also had my band on May 13th. I've lost 30 pounds, but I was on vacation for three weeks and hadn't lost anything during that time. I haven't had a fill yet because my port area incision "popped" open about three weeks after surgery and is now finally healing up. My surgeon won't do a fill until I am completely healed. I am just loving the band. Are you?! I can't imagine still lugging those thirty pounds around. I've got about 74 pounds to go. Let's keep in touch!

I was banded May 10th and have lost 15 lbs since surgery and total of 22 lbs. I am not happy with the weight loss....contemplating other options.

Well I hope everything goes ok for you in the future! Just keep working the band and the diet program and i am sure that your weight lost with increase! I like losing a little at a time now cause it is so much safer and healthier for me. But hey whatever you decide i am sure that you have thought it over. Good Luck.

I had my band placed on May 20th, so far I have lost 35 pounds, 14 pre-op, 21 since surgery. I go for my first fill this Wed., I hope to be losing more after my fill. Lori 255/220/165

hI I am a bandster too! I've lost 21 lbs sincce May 14 my band was placed, but I had a hard time at the beginning, and have had a fill, well it wasn't hard the whole time, but I just had to get used to it. But I'm doing well now and am very happy. Congrats on your weight loss! The first fill was definitley easy, surprisingly so. Jessica

I got banded on May 13th to. I have lost 27 lbs. I think I have lost more inches. I have not weighed myself lately - been 3 weeks. I have lost inches though as i have moved from a size 22/24 to an 18. This weekend I wanna go shop for a 16W and try it out. I am happy with my band, so far. Fran
