if you find out the answer to the firming lotion please let me know, ive lost close to 60lbs since feb, and boy do I have some skin that needs firming, but until we find that firming lotion I will keep going to gym.....

I take 1,000 mg of metformin I had the lap band with plication and I have 7.4 cc in my 10cc band it is getting harder for me to swallow, at first I had no issue, but now I do, I have dr apt on Monday and im going to ask him what am I to do, but the good news is as you loose the weight you may not need it, I went from insulin to metformin now they are about to cut me back 500mg, I have lost close to 60lbs since feb,

Jaye I so love your honesty.......

are you able to do self pay?

Joleng don't beat your self up, we all fall down but we get back up, you gained 30 back but not all of it, so that means you can just pick up from there and move on, just think as soon as you get your fill and get back focused the weight will just come wright back off, cant wait to hear when you have dropped the weight you have gain, sis hold your head up and tell your self this is a second chance, don't Worrie about being embarrassed, you had a few things that held you back now your about to move forward...good luck way to go Joleng

Sky have you tried speaking to your nutrist....let then know you feel you may need a fill before July and are you getting your protein in like 60-80grams a day? try eating fish, chicken and see if that helps, but you will be ok until you get your adjustments don't get weary you will get there soon, I promise, we have all been where your at sweetie, its all apart of the journey....

I had lap-band with plication 2/8/13 and I have done very well with it, wouldn't take it back if I could, loving my Band....w/plication

yes I had lap-band with plication on 2/8/13 and it has been great, its like a back up for me, it only allows me to eat around 2-4 oz food, I have lost 53lbs since surgery good luck on your choice, you will do great, just pray and ask God what he thinks is best for you...

I also hao lap band with the plication 2/8/13 and im glad i did, for any reason something goes wrong with the band, i have like a back up..lol....but i get fuller quickly, my stomach will only hold about 2-4oz of food, but good luckon your journey and the pain will ease up in the next week or so
