Frustrated - Plateau & No Restriction
I am in the same boat Darlene. I am praying at this time that as soon as Spring hits and Summer arrives maybe I will get it back up and running... I will be able to get out of this house and ride my bike and do some hiking. But I know all to well how you feel about the banding vs bypass feelings. I was so happy at 1st and then I hit a wall and hit it HARD.. now I am moving up and down 10lbs back and forth.. it is really depressing... getting no where.. I feel like I just look gross and not getting better. I am also depressed that there is NOT ONE support group in my area.. no people to hang with and talk with. really crappy.

Dr. David Bruce - Hello?? Anyone out there??
I am very happy so far. I have not had to have a fill as of yet. I was thinking that I would have to get one in December, but I am loosing again, so I am not too sure it I will still have to do that. The only thing that I am not thrilled about is that all I can find for a supprt group or anything is online here and it is not that great for me. I think that there is a support group in Dayton, but it is too much in gas to be driving back and forth to Dayton from South Charleston for a meeting. I was hoping that there would be something closer to me like Weight Watchers has... but I have not found a darn thing. I was also hoping that I would find someone to workout with.. I can work out with my Mom, but even thought she she is wanting to help, really she just makes me feel less than good enough by the way she talks to me about stuff. She is always wanting me to go exercise with the elderly with her and go to her Zumba classes and I am not into that at all. I need more than "balancing" exercises and the Zumba is too much for my knees and ankles at this time. I am starting to do line dancing in London, OH on Tuesdays nights. It was fun the 1st time I went. I wold love to do that all the time, but nothing around like that I am afraid. I am sorry if I seem like a "Debby Downer" right now. I do not mean to be.. I just really am down right now about things. BUT as for the surgery and all I am SUPER HAPPY!! Dr, Bruce is a great. I have not had any issues with him yet. Where are you located? Thanks for the letter. Hope to hear back from ya. I am always one Facebook if you have that. I can be reached by that allot faster. OR my personal email rgsdstewart@woh.rr.com FB is: http://www.facebook.com/stewshunbun Take care and God Bless! Shelley
