  1. Happy Birthday wishing2Bskinny!

  2. Happy 36th Birthday wishing2Bskinny!

  3. Was just wondering if anyone has used Weight Watchers or any other weight loss program to go along with their weight/eating control. I was banded June 11th last year and have lost little to no weight. One time my doctor even let all the fluid out because I was sobbing so much and complaining about how I couldnt eat anything without throwing up yet I hadnt lost any weight. The fluid has been back in for almost 3 weeks now and although I think Im doing ok with portion control and choices I still havent lost any weight. In fact Ive gained 3 pounds! I really would like to just give up at this point but I know that I will gain most if not all my weight back (which has only been about 20 pounds). I would like to use Weight Watchers as a last resort to go along with the band but Im not sure if that will help either. I dont know what the problem is, really. I dont want to give up but its very frustrating to not lose any weight with effort and others lose weight with what seems like very little effort. Anyway, let me know what you think about the WW idea.

    Band removed two weeks now(feel great)

    I am waiting for the courage to ask my doctor about the possibility of removal. I was banded last June and have only lost an (unbelievable to me) 30 pounds. Since the 30 pounds back in December Ive not lost anything! I feel sick daily and consider it a good day when I havent vomited after eating. I do that atleast once a day! I dont know why Im sick all the time and why Ive suddenly stopped losing weight despite the fact that nothing stays down. Its soooooo very uncomfortable that I just want it removed. Im just afraid that the doctor isnt going to do it! I guess youre right when you say the band is not for everyone. Its worked beautfully for my dad whose lost 120 pounds and eats normal 3+ meals per day. I on the other hand am uncomfortable eating anything at all. It hurts going down and then it comes right back up. Something is definately wrong and I need to make an appointment to see him. Im just feeling uncomfortable about it. Its nice to hear that Im not the only one that doesnt enjoy the feeling the band gives me and wants (or had) it removed.
