my email is madisoncasanova@gmail.com, feel free to email me for any support! Of course i would love support too lol. thanks bandbun and cazzy for the luck!

my username for mfp is maddie2424. i'll definetly be back, its nice to talk to people who is going through this/ is going to go through this

thats gotta make things worse. i have a twin sister and she doesnt have weight problems. i was always so jealous of her cause she would get dates and eat anything she wanted and not gain! alex, my dad doesnt really support me, so i support your decision in not wanting to tell your friend. i think people need to learn more about wls. i use to think it was an easy way out, but my mind has changed

omg i love that you named your band! did you have trouble with portion control?

thats how my life has been to, judged for my weight! hopefully she'll open up to you about weight or vice versa.

i use to log my food, but not anymore. i guess its the wiling to log my food in! but if it has helped you, im going to try it out

For sure! It would help me out too. I'll admit, I was so scared before I went into surgery. I had no idea what i was getting into. Its nice to know what to expect before you go into it. Do you think you'll tell your friend once you get the surgery? Smiling, congratulations on the awesome weight loss!! im glad you have your mom and sis as support. right now im in a rut, i eat and eat and eat! Did you ever go through that? Im going in for a fill next week so im hoping that will help

Well i'll help out the best i can! are there any other docs in your area that could help? Smiling, what made you get the band with no support? my grandma was soo worried about the surgery and was scared i was going to die too!

Congratulaions! Yes I am banded. I got my band in September. Is your brother and parents supportive of you when you guys talk about it? I talk to my doctor alot about support and i go to a counselor, and it has helped. I would definitley talk to yours if I were you! How come you havent told your best friend?

Hi Alex! are you going to get banded? im 20 and alone in this journey myself.

Got banded in september 25, it was the greatest birthday present ever! I lost 63lbs but unfortunatley gained back 10. Ive been eating a lot of fast food lately but im getting back to healthy foods slowly. Anyway i think some support and any advice would be great! I'd loce to help anyone out as well!

I would love some support! Just like Jane, my willpower is weak. I've had my band for 5 months and have lost 50lbs. Ive been feeling depressed and eating nonstop. Congrats to you for your success!

Soo I thought I was strong enough to do this on my own Wrong! A little bit about me, Im 20 year old lady and single. Ive lost 45lbs so far, and looking to lose at least 83lbs more. Im unemployed but am looking for work. I need help and support throughout this journey, I dont have any support here at home..

Nikki, how long did it take to stretch your band? It is worth it, no matter how hard! Dont give up!

I'll definitely give this a try, thanks!
