    Hey catlady0626

    Hay I feel what your saying but a slight difference. For me that is I got banded on 1/28/13 weighing in at 257lbs . And the day be for yesterday I went in for my forth fill and I was hopein for 1cc in my band that would bring me up to 6cc... But before this visit my last visit was was a shock yet a let down;( I found that my pouch stretched !!! But it was not all bad like one size up .. I never ate the stuff I was told to !!! I'm trying to start now! .. But I lost about 50lbs so far I weigh in as of today 210lbs;) but I do work 80hrs a week 12hr shift and push myself to the gym every other day .. So anyways my dr. Visit the other day I found out that my band did not want a fill she was only able to get 2.5 in me !!?? And the my pouch stretched another size up ;0 I'm heart broken ...;( but I'm not giving up.. I just turned 26 on the 12 this month so I can't give up:/ .. But anyways that little fill it messed me all up I think u might have to go back cuz everything I take down gets stuck and comes right back up;(( not a good feeling it sucks .. So no worries no need to rush it ;) it'll happen

    By the way I'm maddie and I live in Albuquerque if you live out here ..I'm always here to be a friend ;) hope it gets better for you;)

    Hi all-

    I so need a buddy to keep motivated. I have lost 70 pounds so far in 9-10 months but I have had a plateau since the end of Dec./early Jan. I had a fill in Feb. but then had to go back for a partial unfill. Even though I was more restricted' date=' I haven't broken the plateau.

    Because I have gotten discouraged, I have developed some bad habits again like drinking loaded soda and having ice cream and candy. I have gained about 4 pounds and am so scared. Because of work, I am not exercising like I once did.

    I have asked a "famous" you-tube lapbander that is a Facebook "friend" a couple of questions on two separate occasions and never have gotten an answer.

    I really need a buddy to keep motivated, to give me words of encouragement, and to keep me accountable. I will do the same for that person. I know it helps as one of my best friends is not considering the band. Just talking with her has helped some but she is in such a different place than I am now that it only helps to a point.

    I live in Southern California and was banded April 27th, 2012. I am married, have kids, work and had "lost myself" when I became fat. Does this ring any bellsfor anyone?

    Please...someone must be out there.

    Thanks-

    Jen ' don't get so down on your self you will be fine !!;) I have no kids but I got banded on 1/28/13 n I'm not doing so well my husband dose not seem to understand that I can't eat the same as him anymore !;( I have slipped a few times my self .. I have only lost about 15-20lbs I lost my self as well .. I live in New Mexico but I'm feeling the same as you I need a buddy too .. I just can't seem to get motivated ;( so like I say just don't give up!! Cuz you are worth it ;)
