I had lap band on 4-16-08 and I am down 58 pounds and lots on inches. I am
very happy with this results but my surgeon told me that everyone is
different and we lose it differently. Some loses inches first then the
weight others just the weight then others loses both. I was told by my
surgeon that he would be satisfied with me losing 70 pounds the first year,
due to my medications and my health history, but things are working out
better than we thought I would do. Just listen to your body. The weight
will come off, just give it a chance and look for Non Scale Victories (NSV)
loose clothes, loose rings, loose shoes, being able to cross your legs,
just little things that you don't pay attention too.

I had surgery on june 19 and have lost 54 lbs since surgery and I AM happy!
when have I ever lost 54 pounds in 3+ months..never! I am a slow
loser...I know this..I had 110 pounds to lose..and I am half way there. It
really depends on how much you have to lose. People who have 100 pounds to
lose may lose slower than a person who has 200+ to lose. It took us years
to put on...Plus,...losing slower allows us time to exercise and tighten
skin! Good deal! I was losing even slower..but a conference with my
nutritionist and the realization that I wasn't eating enough calories for
my body to let go of the fat and now I am losing a bit faster. I go to
curves 4 times a week for an hour and walk for 45-60 minutes a day. Its all
good! Good luck to you all and have patience...it will come off.

Too often people focus on the amount of weight or inches lost. Remember
this is a new lifestyle, you must follow the directions given by your
surgeon and nut...The main focus should be on developing healthy habits.
The weight will come off if you are following your directions. Protein
first, chew, chew, chew....lots of water.. If you do not stick to these
basic guidelines then you may not be as successful as others. I had
surgery 8/28/08 and I have lost 43 lbs and 46.75 inches, so it's not fast,
but I didn't put all this weight on in 3 months, so it's not all going to
come off in 3 months either. Good luck.

I have heard that there are some people who do not lose very well or at
all...but I have not ever seen or spoken to any one of these mystical
creatures...MOST people lose 100 lbs in one year. Slow weight loss is
actually BETTER for the person losing ...(although it is not nearly as
exciting, I admit) But slower is better...and if you are losing some...It
is better than none...

I was banded on 6/17/08 and have only lost 20 pounds. I have 6cc's in a 9cc
band. I started off doing everything as directed and gained ten pounds
while doing so. I gained the weight once I started eating solid food. I
have since then quit out of frustration slipped back to my normal eating
habits which is quite frustrating. I go for my third fill today and I hope
to get some restriction so that I can get some motivation because if I was
a good dieter, then there would have been no need to have surgery.

I had surgery on 11/19/2007. I am down exactly 100 lbs. I wanted to lose
more but I realize that it will take some time. I am trying my best to get
under the 200lb mark. I am 203 right now. I work out and try to eat very
healthy. If Ido crave anything sweet, i will eat a 100 calorie snack and
feel very satisfied. Just take your time. Eat right, exercise and it will
come off. I rmember complaining to my doc in the beginning about not
loosing as much and he told me that he is happier and it is healthier if it
comes off slower. He explained that when it comes off a bit slower, the
results are long lasting. I sometimes, think, this time last year, i was in
a 24-26W. Now, I am in a 14. I am soooooo Happy! I feel like I have a 2nd
chance at life.

I lost 60 lbs in 6 months (30 of those lbs were lost in the first month)
and I haven't lost anymore. That's been four years ago. I had RNY.
