Thank you for your article. Although I have not lost anyone recently I still struggle with other turmoils in life and I appreciate your words of wisdom. Thanks so much. Gail:biggrin:

Dear Unhappy bandsters, I just want to offer a word of encouragement to those of you who are struggling with your band. First I want to say congratulations for making the decision to take control of your weight. Second I am proud of each of you to realize what your feeling and reaching out for support here on lbt. Its so easy to just say screw it and give up on the band or become a band orphan. Someone with no support and feeling hopeless in your efforts, find someone to share your struggles with and who will be a positive influence on you. I have met a few people at a local support group that gained or even lost a very small amount and didnt start loosing for six months or more with the band. One lady lost nothing for the first 6 months and then just started dropping. She is nearly at her goal now. So it is possible. Continue please to seak out support, talk to your dr. office and staff, go see the nutritionist. You all know that the band is not a magic bullet like people in your lives think it should/would be, more than any of us I am sure. My thought and purpose in writing is just to say dont give up keep trying, hold your head high, and do what you need to do to be happy. Your worth it. Good luck and God bless you in your effort. Gail

I have to tell you something, I clicked on your link for your slide show and now I am sitting here crying. It is beautiful the way you have been transformed. You look so great and so happy it is wonderful. It is amazing how those of us who are banded can form such quick freindships and encourage each other thanks for sharing your slide show. even if that means I am crying like a baby now. lol
