Gas-x strips work wonders!!!

The FDA just pulled Meridia so I hope you're not taking it. Heart problems and stroke as side effects and they finally admitted it

To me....that's how I got to 250 lbs...so I think it's a brilliant idea!!! Stop the gaining while you can. I understand. But insurance companies are a whole other thing. You may be able to find a doctor to do it (if you can sell it and pay for it too). I don't think you are crazy. I wish I could have stopped my trend of gaining a little at a time year after year. I wish you luck!

Good luck with your band. I'm coming up on my year bandiversary and I wouldn't change a thing. It's been slow going for me and quite a learning curve to boot. This website has been invaluable to me as a support. I'm 42, single and from long island. Stephanie

I'm one month away from a year and I'd be thrilled with 52. right now I'm under the 1 lb/week average..but hey, its pounds that are gone forever. I had about a 12 week plateau but i stuck with it and finally broke through. Just keep up the day-to-day following of your program and you will get through. And Celebrate your accomplishments!!! 52 lbs gone is great!!!

Congrats!! I hope to follow in your footsteps sometime soon. Way to go!!!

I've tried several times but don't see any of those rooms you mentioned to pick from. Oh well. I give up

still can't get in. tried what you said wynn...but i don't see the place to choose a room to chat in ???? I'm having chat room withdrawel....LOL

I don't know. Me too. Just a blank white space. Please help!!!

Congrats!!! Great news and good luck!!!!

It takes me about 2-3 weeks to feel the effects of my fills. And once i was too tight and had a slight unfill. That could be happening to you too. call your doctor as a precaution. Are you getting stuck??

How do you have 6cc in a 4 cc band? I've herd something like that before but don't understand. One thing as far as the future...this is out now I believe...it the single incision placement of the band. Wow..that must be nice.

I woke up this morning to read this post and this is soooo what I need. I read the blog and joined (i think) but couldn't figure out how to make a comment there. Anyway, good luck. I'm in it with you. Stephanie

i understand what you are going through. I had better restriction with fill #2 than #3 then too much with #4 and #5 took weeks after the fill to feel the effects. There's no rhyme or reason for how the fills affects us. Maybe it hasn't "hit" you yet but it will. I was about to call for another fill when on the 18th day post-fill I felt restriction. Just my experience. Good luck

The same thing happens to me ( i like Jachut's way of putting it..it makes sense) but it doesn't bother me as much because I know it's about Water fluctuations. I have a Tanita scale which shows the % water in addition to how much I weigh. When the weight is up it's usually because I'm retaining water. I figure if I take it one meal at a time...eat right...it WILL come off slowly...and that's ok with me.
