welcome to bandland.

welcome to bandland. You have done a super!!!!!!!!!!job.

I live in Alabama and also went to Mexico to have surgery. I didn't want to have to fly back to Mexico for fills. I am going Dr. Horgan in Chicago. I fly from Atlanta to Chicago. I catch a early flight have my fills at 1:00pm and fly back that afternoon. The fill cost me $200.00, the taxi cost me $40.00, and the round trip flight usually around $180.00.

banded 8-8-05 where- Monterrey Mexico Doctor- Dr. Rumbaut no problems

My bmi was 33. It's 24 now. I also went to Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey Mexico. I am sure glad I got the band.

I joined the gym 11/22/05. I've done everything the trainer told me to do. I go to the gym 4 or 5 times a week. I do 30 min. of card. and 30 min. of weight training. On the days I don't go the gym I still do 30 min. on the treadmill at home. Well today I met with the trainer to get re-assets. Pulse and blood pressure was good. I had lost 9 lbs. 4 inches in my waist. 3 inches in the hips. I was very happy with the results. I thought I had done a good job. Then she told me to stand on the scales that measures your body fat. I could not believe it. My body fat had went from 33.0 to 33.7. I just do not understand how you can work out as much as I have been doing, lose 9lbs, 7inches and then gain body fat. The trainer said she did not understand it. Can someone please expain this to me.

Thats great, I have been wanting to get mine tested. They offer it a my gym but it cost $100.00. I just keep putting it off, maybe I will get it done next week.

Margo that is super. I will get my results Saturday.

Looks like his parents was having fun

I have lost 54lbs. I am really glad I got the band

I agree with everything La Madam said. It was terrible, a real mess.

Alex, that is so great. I had surgery because I wanted to be able to play with my first grandchild, So I know how you feel.

I don't know what to tell you. Because I have the exact problem. I have no dout that I would already be at my goal weight if it wasn't for eating at night. During the day I have no problem eating the right things and small amounts. For the last two months I have exercised everyday. When 9:00pm. comes along its like my stomach just starts having a fit. I tell myself everyday that I am going to stop eating at night, but it never works. If you find the anwsere please let me know.

Pam, you have done a great job, keep up the good work.

OK, I finally figured out how to post pictures. If you get tired of seeing my bunch just let me know. lol This is my daughter ( Brittney) This is my son (Allen) This is my pride and job (Trestin) My husband (Steve) and grandson (Trestin) Another picture of Brittney

I posted these pictures on Jan 18, but they were gone. So I will try this again. Take the day before surgery in Monterry Mexico 51lbs gone The day before surgery 51lbs gone, My daughter surprised me when she snapped the camera, can't you tell

this is my husband and grandson. this is my son Please bear with me, this is the first time I have every posted pictures.

I'm 5'4 and my doctor wants me to get down to 120lbs, I will be happy at 129.9lbs. I have 18.1lbs to go. I'm starting to think that I may never get there. I workout 1hr. at the gym every other day, the days that I don't go to the gym I workout 30 min. on the treadmill at home. I'm loosing inches but the scale just will not move. If I never loose another lbs. the band has been the best thing I could have every done for myself.

The best thing that I have been able to do is to set down in the floor and play with my grandson. I can actually have him sitting in my lap on the floor and stand up with him without worring that I'm going to loose my balance. Sex is 100% better.

You have done a super job. I know you will make it to your goal.

Kare, I got md CD today, and I love it. It made my 30 min. treadmill workout go so much faster than normally. I go to the gym every other day, the days that I don't go the gym I workout on the treadmill at home. The music I have been listen to has gotten really boring. Thank you so much Kare.

I smoked before the band and I still smoke. I have not had any problems at all.

Star Jones is going to be on 20/20 tonight talking about her weight loss. Thought some of you might be interesting in what she says.
