I don't think it's common knowledge, at least not here in Argentina. Anyway the doctor should've told her patient about it (if she previously told him about her fertility issues, obviously), it doesn't matter if it's common knowledge or not. If you want to read about the adipose regulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis just google Leptine :tongue2: Saludos :thumbup:

I've been banded for 2 years now. One of the best things i've done in my life. I got my band when i was 18 and it changed my life in so many ways, friends, confidence, sports, music, sex, family, mood, and it goes on and on.

Hello y'all, been gone for a while . Living life i guess, new GF, studying and having some non-LB related health issues. I've been doing quite good i'm at 178.5 lb right now, 8.5 under my original goal and people are starting to say i'm TOO skinny so i guess i should go for a little unfill or something. I have lots and lots of loose skin and here in South America it's spring, summer is coming and i'm kinda worried =(. Love you all! Take care! Keep up the good work!

Pre-Band (352 lbs) October 22, 2006 (Around 300 lbs) January 15, 2007 (250 lbs) August 14, 2007 (187 lbs)

It has been one of the best weeks of my life, everything is getting better and better each day. Today i woke up and the scale got to 187 and stoped there, i couldn't belive it i was just so happy i woke up my mom to give her a hugh. Getting lap band was the best decision i ever made, it changed my body and it improved me in so many ways i could never point each one out. Now it's time to keep being as healthy as i can, eating right, excercising and being happy with my new me . Thx to everybody in LBT for being such a great inspiration and to teach me so many things about this journey, things that i could never learn any other way.

I'm 18 (turning 19 next month). It has been the best thing i ever done in my short life, without a doubt. I don't really mind telling people about it, almost everybody knows and i'm really glad it's that way, i needed help and i got it just as simple as that... i don't have any reasons to be ashamed

190.6 lb from 194.4 lb, for an 3.8 pounds loss . 3.6 to go :eek:

Tuesday & Thursday: Shoulders/Back/Chest Wednesday & Friday: Legs/Biceps/Triceps Cardio everyday 35 minutes That's my routine

I'm at the same weight i had last week grrrrrrrrr :confused:

Me and my old pair of jeans , i'm sooooo happy

I've lost around 95% of my weight loss goal

Down 194.4 from 196 for a 1.6 pound loss, it's getting harder every day to loose some more pounds =(

I'm 196 down from 198 (2 pounds loss). I've got a few pounds on last weeks, i hope it's all because of the weight training i've been doing lately. 1st year anniversary coming up, i hope to be on goal by sept 7. Excercise, excercise and excercise :boxing:

I had my gallbladder removed back in march

I'm up for a challenge

1)I waited about 2/3 months 2)I usually drink tequila, gin, wine (any type), beer, almost anything 3)I can handle beer, not a lot but i can get some down if i don't rush it 4)I get drunk in a blink of an eye, nothing compared with the before where i could never get drunk

Hi! just noticed this this September Bandsters thing. I'm just letting all know i'm be joining the conversation :eek:.

The I have bones one rules :scalesno:, the one about the knees it's also true. I would add "Hey, I have muscles!", after some weeks of weight lifting in the gym <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" smilieid="60" class="inlineimg" />

i've never got a fill

I feel that way too, but it doesn't bother me. P.S: Ty Legster that's a cool webpage. According to the site i should be drinking 8 bottles of Water a day O_O

Triple Ditto, get away from that doc asap Vixie he's no good

Congratulations! that's so cool :girl_hug: onederland rulz :target:
