Hey everyone! I can't believe it's been 2 years! I love my band and it is still working for me, I'm down about 115lbs. Happy bandiversary!

Hi all... I haven't checked on here for sooo long! I don't want to brag, but I am now officially down 100lbs! I guess I am a text book bandster, I have used it as a tool and started exercising in June which has really helped. Merry Christmas!

I had it done on a Monday and went back to work on Thursday with no problems... felt completely normal at 5-7 days. The worst part was the uncomfortableness from the gas they put in to open things up, it makes your shoulders hurt a little. Never was in any "pain".

Hey all- I don't really post much, but I do read them all. I am happy with my one year- down almost 70lbs, not bad at all. I just started excercising 2 months ago, I didn't even walk a block before now and now I'm working out with a trainer at least 4 times a week. I didn't love it at first, but I really really do now. If I don't go a day I miss it!! That is sooooo not me either, I am a dedicated couch potato. My weightloss is slow right now, but I could use a fill. I am going to wait until summer is closer to being over, I like having the ability to drink a few cocktails. I keep telling myself it's the muscle vs. fat thing. (Or maybe the extra summer "drinks") I would post a picture, but I have no "before" pics, I was always the one behind the camera.

just testing, I'm trying to edit my profile, not sure I'm doing anything...

Karla, sound like your DH is very insecure, probably a little jealous. I think the problem lies with him and he will try whatever to put it on you. We do need to put ourselves first, even before our kids and spouses. If mama aint happy, no one's happy... isn't that a saying?

I am so glad to hear it's not just me- I did use some tea I got from the chiropractor called chiro-clenz and I went twice the morning after I drank it. It is caffein free and you drink it before bed... I guess I'll just do that a couple times a week. Steph, you look amazing! I have lost 50some lbs and I am happy with that, but I have not exercised 1 minute and I need to badly. I have just had such bad back problems and that has gotten better with the weightloss so now that it is getting nice I need to start with walking. My butt just prefers to be planted somewhere and I can't get the signal from my brain to my butt to get up.

Hey, anyone experiencing constipation with this band?

WAY TO GO BIGBABY!! That waist is NOT natural on wonder woman...

wombat- I have back and neck problems too. I thought it would get better as I lost weight, and I think it has somewhat, but it still hurts. I use it as my reason for not exercising, but I know it would benifit from it. I just started something called Rolfing. I have only been twice, but I can tell it is going to change me. My neck is already sooo much better and she wont actually "fix" that area until session 7, (you go to 10 sessions in all). Dr OZ talked about it on Oprah, and I know a gal that has gone to 7 sessions, she is in her 50's and says it has made her feel 20 again. Just thought I'd share:)

never mind, found it, proSource.net

prosource.com comes up realestate site or something. Do you have the actual link to the bars?

Karla, have you tried the caramel ones? I have a whole box of those and they just don't "do it" for me like they do a bunch of you guys. If you have, how do they compare and can you taste an aftertaste? I would just hate to order a whole box and have them sitting around.

Steph- Did the doc do labs and see if you were diabetic before putting you on Byetta? Could putting you on it when you didn't need it for diabetes cause sugar levels to look like you have it? Do they have a certain blood test for diabetes or just blood sugar levels? Just curious, I thought about asking my doc, but just wondering if it could cause something like that.
