I also have a 14cc band and have been in and out of the green zone as I have lost weight. Currently I am out of it but I get another fill next week which will give me 10cc. Just hang in there and don't forget why you did this. Good luck. PS: my doc has never given me more than 1cc at a time.

Size 20 to a 6! That is just fantastic. Good job and good luck.

That is a very frustrating thing as well. I wish people would keep their expectations to themselves and worry about their own bodies

I told my parents (I had to, I needed a ride to and from the hospital) and they pretty much told everyone they know. It pisses me off, but oh well. They are the only two people I told and now probably a hundred people know it.

This very type thing happened to a bunch of us on another forum. Some man joined and posed as a little girl with cancer named "Nicole". Strung people along for many months posting pictures and details of her treatment and what not. I forgot how it happened but someone figured out it was a ruse and "Nicole" disappeared after that. Then she reappeared later and stated she was just screwing with people and shouldn't be banned from the forum if they couldn't take a joke.

Ladies who like firearms. Very cool........................

LOL, God no! My wife has more class than that.

Sounds like you were doing a pretty good job of bashing your husband. I am sure he appreciates you doing it publicly to strangers.

I'd like to hear his side of the story. You sound like you have an attitude problem.

I have taken vitamins all of my adult life so there has been little change for me other than moving to chewable vitamins and adding Biotin.

And keep in mind that probably none of us are either!!

Protein, biotin and zinc are said to be the keys to helping with hair loss. But I have heard it takes months to turn things around.

I believe sf jello is considered a clear liquid. Lets see what others say about it.

USAF 1977-1987 Lets hear from any country, any branch of service!

Luckily, all of my doctors have been VERY supportive of my decision to get the band. It would have been a bummer to encounter resistance from them. You need to surround yourself with supportive people before, during and after surgery!

Whatever surgery you chose I hope it is with a Dr you feel comfortable with. If you chose the band you are going to be dealing with this Dr a lot. Good luck and say hello to Hayley Westenra for me.

Tucker you mentioned meds and you may be right. That could be all she needs to help her with whatever is causing her attitude problems. Of course getting her to admit she needs help and go to the doctor is a whole 'nuther problem. But if she has anxiety or depression it would be so easy to remedy. Course I am not a medical professional. Just based on my own experience.......

Boy ain't that the truth. Not too mention all of the "old wives tales" that come up almost daily about the band.

I caught that Bon Jovi reference.

Howdy! A lot of people have had success with the band. Glad to have you join us.

Great name "thunderbeast" I was in pain for about two days. I'd call the doc about not being able to drink though. You don't want to mess with dehydration.

I wouldn't know. I only come to the forums. Does seem strange though that they stop talking like that.

Tell us why you got banded people. Explain your reasons if you care to. Was it to improve your looks? A specific health issue? General well being. I think it will be interesting! I got banded to get my diabetes under control and to improve my overall health. I was tired of being tired! I gave up on my looks a long time ago. (see avatar)

That is way cool bro. Way to go!

I know how you feel. I would get soooo tired at times from doing the simplest things. I hope you get good news Wednesday. Good luck!
