Hi All, I had my banding on December 26, 2005 in Houston, Texas by Dr. Robert Marvin. I did great at first but then I developed some medical complications. I am back on track now, and I still have 50 pounds to lose and I am doing through low carb. It is working for me. I am still not exercising enough but I am trying to do better with that. Mary

I was banded in December 26, 2005. Once my insurance was approved, then it had to be done by the end of the year. There was very little food at my house this past Christmas season. Mary

I also have a thinning hair problem and hypothryoidism. I buy Hair, Skin, & Nails Formula from GNC. It has 2500 mcgs of Biotin. Mary

I teach PreKindergarten and PPCD(special ed. PreK) in a small town in Texas. I love teaching and mothering my students. Mary

Kim, I think that if you are fighting with the same 2 pounds, then it is time for another fill. I had my second fill on March 8 and they did not fill me so much that I got sick. Talk to your doctor's nurse and get her opinion. Mary

Hi, I have TRS Active Care 3 and I was banded on December 26 by Dr. Robert Marvin in Houston. He is wonderful. Where do you live? Mary

Hi, I have been taking medication for hypothyrodism since I was 16 and now I am 52. I was banded on December 26, 2005 and I have lost 35 pounds since then. You and I have to remember to take our medication every day. Mary

Hi, Bobbi, Welcome to the board. Dr. Marvin did my banding on December 26, 2005 and I have been very pleased with the results. His seminars are on Tuesday nights and Saturday morning. They are wonderful. Mary

One more pound gon this week. When I went for my 8 week checkup, I have lost 8 pounds this past month which makes a total of 35 pounds since Dec.26 when I had a banding. I am on spring break this week and I have started cleaning out my closet. Everything that is too big is going to Good Will. I already have 1 huge box and 3 huge trash bags full. This feels so good.:clap2: :clap2: But since I am home, I am going to have to watch myself to make sure that I don't constantly graze and snack. Mary

Hi, Sarge, Sorry about posting late this week, but I have been very busy at school. Put me down for 1 more pound. I go to the doctor tomorrow for my 2nd fill. I really need it. Mary

Sarge, I am struggleing this week. I have lost 1 pound, but I am not sure how. Talk to me. Mary

Hey Sarge, it has been a bad week since I haven't lost anything. Oh the other hand, I didn't gain anything either and that is a good thing. I have been sick and then I twisted my knee so I couldn't exercise. Hopefully, next week will be better. Mary

The doctor put me on anitbiotics yesterday. The doctor wrote the prescription for capsules. When I got to the drugstore, I asked the pharmacist to change the capsules to liquid. This way, there is one less problem to worry about while I am sick. I hope you feel better soon. Mary

Hey, Sarge, Put me down for 1 1/2 pounds this week. I did not get all my water in this week and I only did water aerobics twice. I know, I know, now excuses, but I twisted my right knee, could barely walk, came down with sever upper respiratory infection, and had a bitch of a week at school. :cry I promise to do better next time. Congratulations to everyone that is trying this week. Some weeks we loose and some weeks become survival weeks. Whatever your week was, congratulations on whatever you accomplished. Mary
