I started on Miralax twice day and it has helped tremendously. Yiu can buy generic and it works just as well.

I gave up on steak. It does not matter how little or tender it is it will not go down easy.

I am so happy for you. I was in a size 24 qnd can now wear a size 14. I love going to the thrift stores to see what I can find now. Congrats and keep up the good work.

Hi. Here is my story. I researched the lab band procedure for 2 years before I actually had it done. My surgery took place on 4/1/10 and started out at 227 lbs. I've had 2 fills only-.5 cc in band when placed, 1st fill of 2 cc and then .5 cc last fill. I've lost 63 lbs. so far and almost to my first goal-160 lbs. I went from a size 18-20 to a size 12. I can't believe I'm actually in a size 12. I know you shouldn't be stuck on size but I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! I know this isn't for everybody but I am very glad that I had it done and would definitely do it againt. I had no pain and no problems. The incisions healed great and the scars look great. I'm even thinking of lowering my goal and trying to get in a bikini. Ha, ha we'll have to see. Thanks for letting me go on.

The lap band is a tool as others have stated. I love my band and would do it again. I was 264 pounds in August 2010 and now I am 198 in June 2011. My goal is 175. You must be willing to take control of what you eat. You must excercise and you must drink your Water.

it helps to have a partner that will support you. My boyfriend is awesome and supports me in all I do.
