  1. Hey!! I am a college girl too! I am only 20 though. I just got banded July 11. I know I could not be a mentor, but maybe just a buddy? I dont know if you want to get too detailed, but maybe we could e-mail or facebook or soomething if you are interested. although facebook kind of worries me, because only a couple of my close friends know. I would not say I am struggling yet, but I am frustrated. I knew it was not going to be magic, but I thought my weight loss would be more progressive. If you need anyone to talk to or ask questions though, I am just a couple months ahead of you. I need a buddy now too!! haha
  2. thanks! its really encouraging that yall are writing back. i just feel as if i have absolutely no restriction, and sometimes i forget i even have it!! i am still eating a lot less than all my super thin-model like friends, but im still STARVING. hopefully this fill will help and give me the kick start i need! thanks yall!
  3. Hey! I was banded July 11, 2008. This is my first post. I have been using this website a lot to get information, but I am so frustrated that i finally need my own feedback. I had one fill almost a month after surgery on August 12. I have lost a total of 8 lbs throughout the entire thing! I know I dont have enough restriction and have scheduled another fill for next thursday. I know I am being impatient, but I just feel so beaten down. I need to know it will happen eventually!! bandedintexas highest-220, current-212, goal-135 5'7 banded- 8/11/08 1st fill- 9/12/08
