So I was banded on 5/23/08 and in November of that same year I found my sweet spot after three or four fills. Since being banded I have lost 135lbs but have still not made it to my goal weight (at my lowest weight I was about 20lbs shy). Recently I have been able to eat a lot and even wake up hungry in the morning which I havent felt since before surgery. I even have gained about 15lbs in the last two months. I have had acid reflux and heartburn since banding and my doc did find a very slight slip in my band at my last visit but nothing enough to remove fill for or need to worry about at that moment. My question is- does my sudden change and weight gain mean my band has really slipped or is it possible to need a fill even after I was at my sweet spot for so long? I know the obvoius answer is to have testing to see the placement of my band but since surgery my ins has changed and it currently does not cover any band related expense. So I would have to self pay and money has been tight lately. I am so scared that some sort of revision will be needed and I literally will not be able to have it done because of cost....

female only HELP! My hair is getting soooo thin! I am scared
Miss Michelle posted a topic in The Gals' Room
Ok, I am sure someone else has posted about this somewhere..Since being banded last year my already fine hair is just getting thinner and thinner. It falls out if I brush it too much, dry it too long or flat Iron it. I have stopped styling my hair and decided to just keep it up becuase I am so embarassed by how it looks. The breaking is making it look like I have layers, and not flattering ones!!! What do I do? A friend who had gastric reccomended Biotin which I have been taking but it doesnt seem to help. I considered cutting it so that it may look fuller if shorter but I am terrified that it will never grow and keep breaking until I have to have a pixie length cut. Has anyone found anything that works??? HELP!!! -
Hey, everyone- I checked the fitness section here on lbt but didnt really find any great recomendations for workout dvds. I am looking for something fun and that will make up for the days I miss the gym. I would love something like flirty girl fitness but dont want to spend the $200 for the set...Any suggestions???

I posted in the before and after pic thread. I tried to start an album but it didnt work so I will have to try again....So proud of you for sticking with the gym. I suck and havent been in a LONG LONG time : ( These new work hours r killing me. Maybe I need to go get excersize dvds to workout at home...

Thanks girl! Things are better, I've gone to the gym 2 days this week and I plan to go tonight and tomorrow morning! How are you...where are your pics? Your baby is adorable!

my wings dont bother me much...the excess skin on the bottom of my stomach is what drives me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yeah, well, if elephants had wings, then thats what I would have LMAO! I was going to the gym very regularly and had it under control pretty much then my hours at work changed. I stay now until 6:30pm and commute an hour home after that. I have one son who is 6 so either I spend a little time with him before he needs to go to bed or I go to the gym. Needless to say I stopped going to the gym and now I am Miss Flabby-Flappy Arms

OK, since u look sooo fab I need to know- what kind of arm exercises do you do??? I have lost 126lbs since being banded on 5/23/08 and that seems to be my biggest problem (ugh...and my shrinking boobies but no exercise in the world is gonna help them out, lol!).
