Hi everyone! I'm new. My name is Courtney, I'm 23 and I've actually been banded since August 3, 2002. I was banded when I was 16 years old.
My starting weight was 331lbs, my current weight is 183. I've lost 148lbs, but would like to get down to 155lbs....so 28lbs to go!
Since I lost my insurance soon after my surgery, nor had the money for fills, I haven't been filled for five years! I think I've done pretty well with my weight loss without them. But I really need help losing the last 33lbs. I'm getting a fill this coming Monday (Dec 8th)! My question is...since I haven't been filled for sooo long and really don't feel like I have much restriction, how do you think the weight loss will go? Parts of me thinks it might be pretty fast in the beginning and slow down...but other parts of me wonders if it'll be slow yet steady.
I've been browsing this group for about a week now, it seems wonderful with tons of support. Can't wait to get to know people.
