  1. I will say nothing works if you havent made up your mind that you are going to do what it takes to get it done. Even with Gastric Bypass it's no quick fix the wieght can come back. I just say do what's best for you that's all that matters:D
  2. I dont feel like you should not get lapband. Like I said I weighed 489lbs and I am currently 441 and just had surgery on the second. So you do what's best for you. At this point anything will help. PLEASE PLEASE BE POSITIVE AND KEEP YOUR HEAD UP.
  3. Hi Ladies. Texas is the Best. I live in Houston and was Banded by Dr.spivak on May 2 2007 So far I'm down 21lbs and counting Good Luck all new bandsters and upcoming bandsters. And Ladies Let's keep this thread going so we can really see how many of us are really on here
  4. I understand how you feel. Don't let him get you down Look at me in [/url] January I wieghed 489 lbs and for a long time I just let go tried not to think about. But my boyfriend he likes big women so for a long time I thought it was ok. But there comes a time in your life when you have to take control for you and no one else. Don't let your boyfriend make you feel this way. Words of encouragement you can do anything you put your mind to. Just keep on working on trying to get banded but getting banded will not be a quick fix. You have to work hard and will defiently need SUPPORT so he needs to lay off the hurtful words because it doesn't help. You can do this. And if you ever never someone to talk to you can send me private messages and we can talk. GOOD LUCK JUST KNOW YOU HAVE A NEW FRIEND
