  1. I do want to lose weight and be healthy. I had lap Band in November of 2007 . I have not been very successful at all. I get confused as to what I am suppose to do. One day its low carbs, then the next day low fat, then the next high protein. It is a fact that when you mix them all together you will gain weight. I recently gained 8 lbs. like in a 10 day period of time. What are you suppose to eat? I have 7.25 cc's ion a 10 cc band. I can eat most everything. Why isn't the Dr doing anything ? I just get the every six week fill and that is about it. I NEED to lose weight. I am disgustingly obese, 250 lbs 5'2 in.4 of my co-workers went to Florida and got some kind of a bypass that is a designer thing. They all look fantastic and are healthy. One actually said to me that she was sorry my lap band didn't work. Yea well me too. I would never tell anyone that i had weight lose surgery, it would be to embarrassing when they realize that I didn't lose weight. Any one else have problems losing weight? There is a local yahoo support group in Cooperstown NY (where I had my surgery) but they are a very close group of perfect people that don't want to hear that anyone has had any kind of problems. Most of them just seem to have it all together. I have tried several times to get a spark from them and I am ignored because of my negative results.:thumbup: Anyway, any suggestions out there?
