After years of looking after mom in her home, moving her to a retirement home etc. I had to put her in a Nursing Home last weekend. The sense of peace that she is safely looked after is helping me. Back to the gym and looking after ME. Even my boss sent me an email about my great work this week

Having the band too tight will definitely give you medical problems. This doesn't make it he bands fault. I monitor carefully that I have no acid reflux and all is ok. I am not allowed to get a fill if I am not following the diet and monitoring everything. -
I am almost never hungry which is great. I went to the gym last night. My daughter was in the pool at the gym and called me to make sure I would go. I feel awesome after.

I cannot say anything negative about Slimband as I feel they saved my life and started me on this journey. most companies go bankrupt and reopen under a different name. Mostly because of a law suit.
