WOW ! you lost 100 in just 9.5 months? you go girl! im sorry hello my name is alberta im a single mom of 4 banded on 05-05-08 my goal is to loose a total of 138 so far i lost 28 pounds can you tell what you ate & exerise ?? please so that i too can do well . Thanks, Alberta of california

hello i was banded on 05-05-08 my doc told me a glass 30min b4 each meal and a glass 30mins after thats it. im doing fine no dehydration bowels are fine so good luck BUT allways talk to your doc he/ she knows you better than us

Greetings! my name is Marie im in california your right the water retention is a pain but i must admit i only get it after i walk a mile. my blood pressure & blood sugars has come down a lot im so happy! im starting to notice that my port area is achy a bit for some reason i dont know if its from walking or what but i return to the doctor on the 19th hopefully im healing .

greeting i was banded on the 5th of may this year and i have no support team or buddy for me like many other i feel better knowing someone is keeping tabs on me making sure im doing ok so if anyone is out there via LBT or in the central valley ( california ) let me know im praying the dibetic , high blood pressure will leave as well as the unwanted weight.

i understand you very well. i have been band a month lost 26 pounds plus 12 before surgery but i still feel lost i need a mentor it nice to be able to talk to people who been there donr that. now this may sound goofy but how often should i weigh my self weekly or bi-weekly ??

humm sounds like a good idea maybe with the water work outs i can get a "lift "on these arms

good girl! keep up the good work i had went to curves but i got tired of the ugly looks as if i was 600+ or something to me its rude i rather for someone to say hello how are you in a friendly voice then i t wouldnt bother me if they stared so hard who knows maybe i am were they use to be go fig ..lol ya never know

i think i can go to the gym if i had a partneer i just go to the local high school track and walk a mile on my off days from work but i rather go to the gym and get a complete work out. banded 05-05-08 298/ 280/ 272

i understand i had done everything my insurace told me to do plus they claimed i need a pych eval( i paid for )then turned everything in just for them to say "We have our own Doc" so i need to see them before anything ,it took me 2 months to get in then the insurance approved it a week later after that so i understand. keep calling everyday call and see if there was a cancelation

2 thumbs up to you!

you look good! if not read your comment wrong you got banned a year ago and your down to 160 you've done a beautiful job i weight 272 and i want to get to 160 i too have a stubborn mule body so i understand any advise to me ? i got banned 05-05-08

i am lost! many people tell me to stay off the scale , many say weight in every week, some say dont do that becuase if you dont loose you might get depressed... yeah go fig ! i want to be on top of things but not ahead of anything.. i was told 1-2 pounds a week is nornmal but i hear other complain if they loose 3-4 pounds a week so whats the deal???

i was band 05-05-08 and so far lost 26 pounds but i need a good excerise plan can any1 help me think of 1 ?

you go girl! i was banned on the 05-05-08 lost 22pounds so keep up the good work

linda this is what i did and it worked for me. drink a glass of water 30 min before each meal and a glass 30 mins after a lot of times its not food that you want i did the same thing your doing and trust with all the water ( 64oz) you will stay full not eat as much.. i hope i help a little but everyone is different so hang in there!

yes thats what i went through but you need to drink a glass of water 30min and after your meals, maybe you need a nother fill call your doc.
