Starting weight - Time banded - Current loss
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi All
Just trying a confidence building exercise and trying to draw some motivation from everyone else's stories!
Everyone's different and surgeons seem to work in different ways to. Hoping to see a lot of success stories here and hopefully not to many unsuccessful ones!
I was banded may 2016. My starting weight was 24 stone 9lbs BMI 40. My band was left empty for the the first month and I've had 6 fills since. I am currently 23 stone 4lbs which to be honest I am really frustrated with. My diet hasn't been great since and I am still searching for the sweet spot. I'm in for the long run and will stick at it.
How is everyone else doing?

That sounds like a rough experience! Sounds like your doing well though and the weight is coming off so congratulations with that and at least you know your limits with the band filling now!

I was banded in june 2016 and my starting weight was 22St 2lb with a bmi of 54.9.
Had an empty band for 6 weeks. And had 4 fills which was total of 4 ml then went on holiday to Spain which resulted in my band going tighter and while away Bo food would stay fone and I ended up splitting my throat when away so stuck to liquid. Got all fluid except for 1 ml taken out and stayed like that for 6 weeks. I've not had 2 fills since and I'm at 3.5ml. Due another fill in 2 weeks.
So far I have lost 6 stone and have a bmi of 39.8.
I go to a personal trainer twice a week and do weight training and cardio.
Before getting my band fitted I wasn't very hopeful as had heard so much bad stories of it not working etc.
So far I couldn't be happier with the way it's went. It gas changed my whole look on life and my figure has changed drastically.
Keep at it as I'm sure you will get there eventually.
