i know this video is a bit old, but I just watched it for the 1st time. I am currently going on 4 months (16wks). Everything you are saying relates to me. I am down between 30-34 lbs down. I tend to fluctuate between the same 4 pounds every 10 or so pounds that I loose. Any idea how many fills or # of cc's that you had at this point? It totally a game of learning how to live the band and use it as a tool. How are you doing this week? We will succeed and we shall never give up. best!

I had had a few fills and an unfill by 4 months.. way too many actually.. Yes we will get there Wendy.. it is definitely a learning experience that's for sure. I am going post my 10 month post op video tomorrow.. I'm doing fine, how are you doing?? Becky

Very good vid. I know you are right... Very good pep-talk! I am not banded, but I keep failing with my weight loss plan, so this is exactly what I needed to hear. I can't believe I'll be constantly struggling with my weight for the rest of my life! What a BOMMER! Anyways, thanks 4 the vid... :-)

I know, it is hard to accept,, but believe me, if there was some sort of miracle cure for my love of food, I would have done it years ago!! LOL, I guess I just have to work at it one day at a time like everyone else.. The band is just a tool, but it does help:) Take care:)

thanks for taking the time to get back to me. I am doing alright. I have been on the road working for nearly a week with 2 more day ahead of me and it's super tough to be out of my routine and home. Otherwise all is good. I average about 2.2 pound per week over the last 15. at least it goes down or stalls and does not go up all that often. I am getting my second fill in 2 weeks. I really want to get the "sweet spot" restriction and also need to pump up my exercise.

You are doing so good it is so important to get back on track when you fall. Congrats on your 4 months and total weight loss.

You lost 50 lbs! I haven't been banded yet - I know your thinking shifts when you have the band, but If I could loos 50 lbs in 4 months I would be so excited! You should feel very proud of yourself - your doing so well! You're so right about it being life long journey!
