Hi Kiki, It's good to see that we are on track with each other. Good Luck with the challenge.:eek:

Hello to everyone....After about 4 weeks of going down 1 up 2 and staying on the same :crying:...this week went dn 3.5lbs:thumbup:..It was the best feeling. Congrats to all for the grt job. Being almost at the half way mark is amazing.

:eek: Hello, I have systemic sarcoid and my band was done in May. I have lost weight which I know has helped with my symptoms. I take prednisone, plaquenil and cellcept...the cellcept were large pills so I get in liquid for. researcg the meds you are on if the come in liquid forms. My surgeon was ok with sarcoid and allof my drs...cardiologist, pulm, endo, neuro all approved it. Best of luck. Sarcoidosis Does really stink!!!!! Your fills should be adjusted to your needs. I am doing fine with the band ... Horrible with the sarcoid:thumbs_down::mad2:

Hello and congrats to everyone. I have a question...I went in for my second fill on Thursday the 14th. Since the fill I have had no restriction and am hungrier than ever before...is this normal?
