Take it with yogurt, it really make a world of difference.

So glad you posted this. I feel like I'm moving slow as well of course after a wild few months- everything got thrown off track. My husband and I took in our niece and nephew so that has really changed our lives. We went from no kids to a 4 year old and 16 year old. Talk about drastic change. I had to get an unfill last month due to some inflamation and heart burn. Unfortunately I have gained 2 pounds but trying not to beat myself up about it. I had gotten to a point I was struggling to drink so once I was unfilled and able to eat, I have. Trying to get it back under control though and am scheduled for a refill first week of Feb. Thank goodness!! But anyway I was banded 2/12/10. So hard to believe its been almost a year. 80 pounds gone!! Hooray!! I would have liked to have lost 100 by my first bandiversary, but I'm really tickled about the 80. Love it when people haven't seen me in a while and tell me they didn't recognize me..lol.. love it!! Hope everyone else is doing great and that all of our Feb. 2010 bandsters let us know how they are doing.

Congratulations that is totally awesome!! Keep up the good work!

Call your doc asap.. It's not worth risking messing up something..

Hi guys. I had my lap band done February 2010. To date I have lost 84 pounds and sooo glad I did this. I just wanted to post for all of those that r suffering and thinking u may b too tight, go to ur doc and get checked out. I started noticing problems the week b 4 Christmas. Well I finally went to the doc this past Tuesday. They did the fluro and the nurse was shocked to c that barely ANTYHING was going through. She took out Fluid and wants me to let my stomach rest for 3 weeks and take something like pepcid. My sinuses had been acting up so I just kept fighting and saying "oh it will get better". Well if ur ever in doubt.. go to ur doc and get checked out. I am so thankful I did. I feel like a new woman. The only upside is that I couldn't eat all of the good fattening stuff, lol. Seriously though, there is no need to suffer. The band is to help not make you miserable. Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year. Oh and I just am so proud to say this is the first year I can ever remember that weight loss isn't a new years resolution. I feel so liberated!!! Best of luck to everyone. We're all in this together!

Wow girl you look great!! Congratulations!!
