hi terid

welcome to lbt,you are not alone it take alot of us more time than others to loosse weight we are just all different so be patient and it will soon start to come off more rapidly..lol mariah

welcome friend!

if i had the chance to do it all over again....i would defenetly would have chosen a different surgery lapband has way too many complications for alot of us.including not enough weight loss or no weight loss at all my advice is to reserch all your options before you commit to one.i am currently going to have my second surgery now is going to be the gastric sleeve wich is another 13,000 plus 17,000 that i already paid for the band.now i think gastric is what i should of had done from the beginning but whats done its done.......good luck and much success on your journey....lol

woooo hooo congratulations..........

60 gone for ever 50 to go.........hope to be at goal by october...lol :thumbup:

I understand how you feel because my husband was the same way. But I did it anyway because I needed to do it for myself. He is still not very supportive. The only support I really get is here on the boards. I guess that's why I stay on here all the time, lol. My advice to you is to do it anyway. No, it will not be easy afterwards if he is like my husband and still not very supportive. But it will all be worth it.

me too all these wonderfull people have been my support thank god for them.....
