hi everyone!!! my name is alison...i am 28 years old...i was banded on 12/2 by dr. hanna here in las vegas, nv. i dont feel i have been very successful thus far and am definitely down in the dumps about it...i am looking for some sort of support...preferably here locally, however via email or phone would be nice too...most of my family friends are skinny so although they are supportive, i just dont feel they can completely relate to what i am going through...i hope to hear from some of you soon!!! take care and good luck to everyone on their band journey!!! alison

i had my surgery on 12/2 and at first i was doing very well...now i have not lost any weight in about 2 weeks...i am also having a problem going #2...i do not see my surgeon until 1/12 for my first fill...will the weight loss pickup once i have my band filled??? and does anyone take or recommend any sort of laxative or something for the constipation problem? i tried getting a hold of my surgeon but he is on holiday and is only taking emergency calls at this time... :tongue_smilie: any help, advice, or info is more than appreciated!!! alison
