Mandy has only lost about 30-35. Banded March. But we still have hope. She is quiting her job at the resturant and no longer drinking water one hour before and one hour after eating.Hope it helps. Mandy's Momma

Great Question. I have had it done twice so far so good. Im impressed.

Goodluck,and wellcome to bandland.I have a great recipe for potatoe soup if you want it.It got me through the mushie stage. I also like the wylers herb and spices chicken broth.I still buy it after a year banded.

I got my health back. I do not look so old and sick. I have got of insulin. I can buy cute clothes. Not that old lady stuff anymore. I have gone from a size 22-24 to a 14 I feel so much better From 218-155 Thank you for all your help in getting me where I am today. Best of all this Thanksgiving I was wearing a pair of size 33 Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans. Standing in the same spot I stood just one year ago in a size 42. See pic below. One year ago I was wondering what it would be like after a year banded. It is better than I thought I could be. I love my Band I am going to try to post before and after picture but if it does not work you can click in this thread. www.picturetrail.com/ladysplenda I would lie to post a before and after picture But the pictures are to big can someone help me do this?

I would email him and say I may be heavy but I am doing something about that and I am changing. He is a ass and will and with that attitude he will be single long after you have found your prince charming be him large or small.As a good women looks for more than looks.A kind heart, a good soul and a mate that builds you up rather than tearing you down. So he does not sound like your type. No good woman likes a smart ass. He probably can't find a good women because he does not know how to treat a LADY

I can't believe it I can wear a size 33 Gloria V Jeans.:faint: I love my band

Both my daughter and I got turned down three times. They want you to give up. Do not do it. I was told if they turn you down beyond three times you can turn them in for a investigation / review insurance board and they do not want that. Forth time was a charm. I had to have 1 year supervised weight loss and a mental health evaluation and of course two major health problems. I now weight 157 Do not give up.

I feel your pain. I am stuck too for now. Four months now. But I have been stuck many times before. 202,183,176,167,163 and now 157. Change some things. Exercise more, eat more veggies,change some bad habits that may be trying to resurface(and they will if you let them). Do not give up.It was slow to put on and it is slow to come off.

I had it done a month ago and I cannot believe the diffrence.80% improvement in just one treatment.

Well I did it . It was not bad at all. Five more treatments six weeks apart. Once or twice a year after that. It has been two weeks I can tell a diffrence already.

I use papaya extract chewable tablets. Helps with PB's and heartburn Walmart

If I Cannot Afford The Surgery. I Still Feel And Look So Much Better Than I Did. So I Will Have A Little Tummy And My Arms Sag A Little. My Boobs Are Not As Perky As They Were Before The Surgery. I Am Healthy And That Is A Blessing. In The Love Making Department Wowza What A Diffrence. I Got My Mojo Back.

Yes But I Have Had A C Section Gall Bladder. Tuble And A Hyst. My Tummy Area Was Shot Before I Even Started.

Hello from East Texas. Welcome

IM OFF INSULIN AND I FEEL SOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER. I was taking 70 units of insulin. Diabetic's there is hope. HOPE THIS LINK WORKS CLICK HERE www.picturetrail.com/ladysplenda if it does not work. It should also be posted in my signature below. :clap2:Mom and Mandy :clap2: band buddies I love my band

Can you post a picture of them? How much are they? Hold me one please I would like to see one. Thank's Linda

We live in a small town with no support group close. I asked her to go to TOPS. But she works on that night. Are there any groups for younger bandsters. Maybe we should start a bandesters under 25 group. Any other suoort groups for bandsters that you all can suggest.

He does not want to fill her band up to quick. She is concerned but I try not to make it a big deal. I told her it put years to put on. It will take a while to come off. She was homecoming duchess. She has great self esteem.She is smart and popular I am so proud of her. Please do not make any Judgements. I was looking for support on how to help my daughter. It is a subject I will talk about if she brings up. I rarely bring it up. But I did not know what to tell her when she does. We are very close. She knows I have been very ill for years and she is my Rock .I just want to be hers if she needs one.

I do offer her support. I do not nag her about this. As far as the race is on. It was both our ideas. To keep each other on track. We do not do that anymore. I took this to the group because I am concerned. I have not told her that I am. Because I do not want her to feel bad, or worried. She is going to college and has enough to worry about. I let her bring it up and I try to support her in her effort. I ask what do you think you could change. She seems to be doing everything right. She has seizures and cannot exercise.Her blood pressure gets low.

It is hard to pick up and go on. I was in a bad relationship. My first husband. I found out I did miss him but we did better without him. I know you hurt. You will get past this. You only have one life spend it with someone that makes you happy. Where you happy??

I kept asking how much she has lost and she storied to me thats why my post said 35. She was worried about telling me she was not losing much. She has lost 22.

Mandy has had her band since March 23rd. She has only lost 22 lbs. I had lost 56 at that point. Should I be concerned? She started at 269. I started at 218 I feel so bad for her. :help:
