Dianne, I am still pre-op (surgery on Monday) so I can't help you there. Hopefully someone else can! I think 12 lbs. is amazing...banding patients do not lose what RNY patients lose over the first year. The statistics are that you will lose 1/2 of your excess body weight-so 50% of what you want to lose-in the first 2 years after banding. Hang in there!
