thought it may help me....
If I started on my blog & maybe help others too. So, I was banded 9-25-08 It's been almost 5 months! WOW!!! The BEST thing I have ever done!!!! I have lost 36 lbs so far & counting. It's a bit slower then most I think but I'm ok w/ it. I have not lost a good chunk of weight in YEARS!!!! A lttle History: I have always struggled w/ my weight. I have always had poor self image issues. Even when I wasn't "FAT" I thought I needed to be thinner. I have never been skinny skinny. I guess when I was young I didn't have the confidence & didn't realize I looked good @ 5ft 2in 120-125 lbs. {STUPID} It never lasted long though. I was always up & down 20-25 lbs. Now I just want to be "NORMAL".

Um...I have twinges once in awhile but it's only been 5 months for me. I don't know? I don't know why you'd have soreness now. I'd tell your doc about it.

I guess I'll just go w/ it & NOT try to get a fill. I'm afraid I'l be too tight while out of the country & then I'll be in trouble. I don't know........ WHATEVER!!! I'll just have to TRY really hard to lose what I can. I'll still have a good VA CA no matter what.
