  1. I live in Russellville. Banded 2/2/12 by Dr. Wellborn. Down 33 lbs so far. I really like by band, just wish I was down 50 by now. slow but stead.... going back for another fill 10/30.
  2. I say go for it! You know yourself and what you want better than anyone. Just like everything else in life, don't let anyone tell you you can't do something. If you can afford it and your doctor has agreed, Do it! As you get older this battle gets harder. This will slow you down when eating. Good Luck to you.
  3. I was banded 2/2/12. I am down 32lbs so far. It's slow, but its coming off. I would like to lose 40 more.
  4. I have had several people comment this week on how much weight I have lost! This is really a great feeling and helps keep me motivated. I hope this is happening for you.
  5. i have always been able to eat after a fill. Is this ok?

  7. Why is it under you arm? I have never heard of this.
  8. I did not have to take my panties off. Just tell you Dr. you should be ok.
  9. I too am a slow loser. I have only lost 25lbs since I was banded on 2/2/12. I go back for a fill next week and I hope I finally get to the green zone.
  10. What about Phillips Milk of Mag capsules? Has anyone tried those? Sometimes they help me and sometimes they don't. Anyone Else?
  11. I am looking forward to crossing my legs without having to pull them over. I am looking forward to being "comfortable". I won't have to worry about my clothes being too tight. Once I loss this weight, I can wish and dream for something else...
  12. I was banded 2.2.12. I was off for 3 days. I did not and have still not told them about my WLS. I told them I need to be off to for personal reasons. Your right, "Its not any of their business". Don't tell anyone who you think might stand in your way.
  13. My weight loss is very slow. Banded on 2/2/12 and only down 24lbs. I had my 8th fill today and I hope this puts me in the green zone. I really wanted to be 40-50 lbs down by now. So hang in there and I will try to do the same.
  14. I had my 8th fill today. I have always been told, "clear liquids for 24 hrs, then soft foods 24hrs then regular food. I got really hungry so I ate some solid food. I feel fine. Why should I wait to eat, if I can eat without a problem?
  15. I have 6.5cc in a 10cc band. I am not in the green zone. I go in for my 8th fill on Monday. I sure I hope this is it. I am getting disappointed that I have not lose as much as I thought I would by now. I feel like I am starting a new diet everyday just like I before getting my band.
  16. I was banded 2/2/12 and some days I have restriction and a lot of days I don't. I have 6.2cc in a 10cc band. I go back on 7/30 for my next fill. I hope I get perminent restriction after this next fill. I have only loss 25 lbs so far. I need to loss 50 more. I need to get this ball rolling.
  17. Thats my goal! Banded Feb 2, 2012. Thanks so much for sharing your success! Congrats!
  18. Is there an after taste or chalking texture?
  19. I am looking for protein supplements? I recently bought some Healthwise supplements from a weight loss clinic. they are good but expensive. Does anyone use the Unjury supplements advertised on the forum? Looking for suggestions.
  20. I used Dr. James Wellborn in Little Rock. Paid 11K out of pocket. Banded 2/2/12. down 28 lbs so far. I am happy with my band and doctor. Good Luck
  21. I freaked out too when my hair started coming out. It still is, but I am better now at taking my vitamins and getting more protein. Don't quit. You want so bad to loss the weight just Iike I do. I paid out of pocket for this band and I am determined I am going to be thin. take your vitamins, eat your protein, and please try to decrease your stress. Don't quit..
  22. chips, Chips, Chips! They are my weakness. I wish I could getting away from them..
