Hi!! I had my lapband back in 2008 after I had my 1st child and was really struggling to get pregnant again and lose weight..had my lap band and I lost about 50 pounds then got pregnant back to back and now ever since then I've really struggled to find that happy fill place again and start losing weight. I have really bad back problems on top of that and get steroid/cortisone injections every 3-5 months so it makes working out really hard at times due to bad back/leg pain.
I would just love some suggestions on great receipes that anyone likes that fill you up and maybe just a great friend to talk to about the lap band! I don't have but 1 local friend who was banded but she gave up on her band and had it completely unfilled. I just recently had mine refilled and am almost to where I should be I think, but I would love to just have someone to talk with about the band and things that work for them. =-) Thank you!! I'm in Tucson, AZ too.

Hey girly!! How have you been feeling since your surgery?? I've been meaning to message you and see how you are..call me!!

I've actually lost 100 pounds in 8 months and am 30 pounds to goal with very little exercise. Therefore, there is no direct correlation between weight loss and exercise for me. With that said, I certainly need exercise to tone up and for heart and other health benefits. In short, there's plenty of great reasons to exercise but it would not be accurate to say it is always necessary for weight loss or lap band success - at least not for everyone. And you are dead on about excuses - everyone can find time for 30-45 minutes a day 4-5 times a week - period.

Hi,
I had my band since 2008 and had the surgery in New York... so I am hoping to find people in Tucson that may have a support group to continue with. Also looking for a good dr to take my case for fills.
