hello all I do a lot of reading on the site and not a lot of posting. I feel like a failure after looking at all the march posts. I was banded 3-14-05 To date I have lost only 36 lbs. But I have went from a 18-20 pant size to a mostly 14 some times i need a 16. I see my before pictures and there is a big difference but i really thought i would be further along. I have one draw back. I don't like my surgon so I don't go for banding and often as i should. I am going on november 4th. I have times when there is no restriction and times like tonight we went to the mall I ordered a tostada with Beans, meat, lettus and cheese I got 4 bites but i think lettus got stuck or something and it all came up. I have only lost about 5lbs since my last fill over 2 mo ago. Well i needed to vent and talk with you all because sometimes I feel as though i don't even have a band. p.s. I am glad to know that i am not the only one on this site that struggles with soda diet or not. I have tried to come off again and i have gone 4 days. I know its better for me so i am trying. Thanks for being a great big ear for me. Christine

I would not tell him. I made that mistake and i left my Dr.s office crying he was so rude and hurtful to me. I changed drs. I hope it works for you. I am just taking care of my self and I hope i never have problems. I go in for fills and that is it. I seem to be doing okay the fill dr said i am right on target for wt. loss. I have lost 36 lbs since march.

Hello all I'm from Texas and glad to be banded (3-14-05). I have lost 21#'s in 6wks. I am happy with that. I am however going to scotland in June and would like to be as thin as I safely can. I just wanted to say hi and introduce my self. I just found you all. Chris
