I didnt sleep well last night besides my being sick I am really stressing. I have so much going on. I messed around and found a bunch of people that were banded and didnt lose a pound oh I dont want to even go there. How is that even possible? I guess I just had to keep looking for some horror stories and as they say seek and you shall find. I wont let that dicourage me I have heard more sucess stories. I havent heard alot of people 4 or 5 years out I am now curious about the long term. Just more shit for me to stress about. I will be ok. I know all I ever needed was a tool I am not looking for a mircle just a little help and thats what the band will be for me. I know I am the one that must work out, make better eating choices. I am going to work this program and I am staring in this show my band is merly the co star. HELLO:thumbup::thumbup:

:myscared:The reason why some people don't lose weight with the lapband is because they are still drinking juice or drinks with a lot of calories. Also if you don't wait at least an hour after you eat before u drink. Your full feeling can go away. Another way is still eating candy,chips etc. That's why my weight lost is going slow.

As far as those negtive stories. Just learn from there mistakes. My doctor doesn't like me going to this site because of that and also because every doctor is different. Stay positive and focus, this is only the begining!

Hi there,

there are also people like me who are "slow losers" - shit happens and I am over it - I only wish some other people on this site would get over my weight loss and slowness as well

However, after 6 months I think I have finally "gotten" it and I am doing really well now, maybe I am just a slow starter.

Regardless, you will do fine - focus on the good and stop looking for the bad stories LOL, look for the good ones and inspire yourself girl!
