This is exacty what i need, accountability. thanks for the challenge. starting 243, goal 220

I am looking for advice to starting over. I had gained 20# back over the last year eating candy and icecream...i had no willpower, but i just found out i now have high blood pressure, so it was a wake up call to me to get back on track. all advice welcome. thanks:help:

I have upmc, it covered my band and all fills without problem. it didnt cover the nutritionist fee that you are forced to have.

I had reflux and heartburn for the first time after my last fill of 2.9 in a 4cc band. I suffered for 6 months, then went for an ugi with my doctor. he had to take out only 0.2cc and i was much better. no more reflux and cough. I used to wake up in the middle of the night coughing and gagging from reflux in my sleep 3 hrs after i went to bed.

when i asked my pcp about it a couple years ago, he told me it increased your chances of getting colon cancer. i tried it anyway and didnt lose enough to be worth it.

hi, i had the lapband 9/03 at magee hospital near pittsburgh. you can email me or ask here. what do you want to know?

I am a chocoholic..........i need a 12 step program!

your picture isnt on your message, neither is your real name, how can they prove it was you?

I am starting to see an ankle bone that i havn't seen for 20 years, it has been a dimple for so long.....

congratulations, I cant wait to shout from the roof tops too!
