Will keep you and your husband in our prayers.

I have been in your shoes. I would lose three pounds and then gain 2 back next month, back and forth. I am a year out and just now started losing at a steady weight. It took me about four or five fills before i felt the restriction. Everybody openingto stomach is different so there are a few of us that it takes a few fills before the pounds start dropping. It does work with time. I am finall losing so just be patient and use the tool.

That's great. I think after a year of fills and 2 unfill's I have found my too.

Love it.

I did that first few months. Lose two gain 3 and back and forth. I wil;l be a year this month and finally loising. Down 34 lbs. It takes longer for some of us. Be patient and you will get there.

That's great. I was banded in November of 2010 and only down 30 lbs.

That's wonderful, Keep up the great work.:bananajump:

Thanks, I didn't think about it that way.

Glad you found what was causing the problem. Best wishes on lsoing weight and kidney function.

I didn't start feeling restriction untill my 4th fill. I am 10 months out and just really startedto drop weight. The first few months I was like a yoyo lose a few and gain and then lose a few and gain. I am finally at a steady rate of losing.

Thank you, I feel like such a failure for not losing evern though I work out 6 days a week.

I had my band in November 2010. I had several months where I had lose and then next month gained. I felt like a failure and waisted money but my doctor always was supportive and explained everyone's body is different and people openings to stomach is larger than other. I am just now finally losing weight at a steady rate of 5lbs a month. I work out 7 days a week and watch what I eat. Don't starve your body expecially if you are working out. The weight will start dropping off. Best wishes on your journey.

I go to Jazzercise and love it. I also walk with some friends I made at jazzercise.

I used Dr. Robert Thompson. He has a Pearland office. I think he is wonderful and I love his bed-side manner.

I had to do the same. DO you have blue cross/ blue shield? It al works out. I had all three my doctors send over to insurance. Diabetic coctor, OBGYN, & primary doctor. Just pray and it will be fine.

I have found the lap-band a roller coaster with emotions. You also need to wonder if you will be a bl e to swallow your meds. I had to get off of mine.

Best wishes and congrats on quit smoking.

What a great out look.

I had surgery on Thursday and went back the next Monday. I only missed two days.

What great words. Keep up the great work and attitude

It took me a while and quit a few fills before I felt restiction. I am 10 months out ans just now where I am feeling full.

You are doing great. Joyce Myers is very inspiratiopnal. I can relateto your journey but I finally quit looking for a man to fill my void and let Jesus be in control. Best wishes with your journey in weight lose, life, and love. You need to love yourself above all.

That's awesome, Keep up the great work.

I have been just like you. I had surgery 11/19/2010. I have only lost 27 lbs. I have had fills every month since surgery. I just never felt any restriction. My last fill is when I am finally feeling restrition. My doctor said everyone's openingto stomach is different in few cases it takes moret o get tight. Just be patient and you will get there. Thank you becasue I felt like the only one that wasn't losing. I hear all these success stories and they make me depressed like I am a failure for spending all this money and not losing.
