Hello Julie, I'm from Harrold, which is about 30 miles east of Pierre. Glad to meet you! I've upped my Fiber because they told me that I had a fatty liver so I did some research and read that a high fiber diet would help get rid of that but I'm still stuck. I'm going to increase my exercise and add in more weight training. My problem is that I have a hard time getting motivated to exercise. Well that's one and also I have a big chocolate dependancy. I just really don't know how to get out of this rut. Thanks, Julie

Hello, I had my lap-band since Feb. 2009. I lost about 66 lbs in the beginning but I'm stuck now. It doesn't matter how much I have filled I don't seem to go anywhere. I have been trying to change my eating habits and increase my exercise but I do fall short in both of these areas, I need someone I can talk to. Someone who can help to encourage me to keep going. Thanks, Julie

I am in my tww. If everything works out right I should miss my period on June 16th. I tested yesterday but it was too soon and it was negative. I'm going to test again on Saturday and see what happens. Keep me in your prayers and I will keep you in mine.

I got banded Feb. 25, 2009 and my husband and I are currently trying to have a baby. I've lost 45 lbs. so far. I was trying to weigh my options, should I loose more weight or get pregnant? My age is also a factor, I'll be 40 in July and when I had my daughter a year ago they were more concerned with my age than with my weight so I have opted to try for the pregnancy so that I can get through it and get back on track with losing the weight.

I will be 40 in July. My husband and I are currently trying to have a baby. Our baby girl turned 1 on May 29th. When I was pregnant with my daughter some of my tests came back with not so good results and they told me that I had a 1 in 13 chance of having a baby with down's. I had them do an ultrasound but declined the amnio because I heard that it could cause complications and everything seemed to be going good, no indications that the baby was having problems. I also gave it to God and on May 29th, 2008 I gave birth to a healthy, beautiful little girl. I am not worried about having another baby but this will be my last pregnancy (I have an 18 yr. old son and my baby girl).

Congrats to the both of you. I was banded on Feb. 25th. I had a lot of back pain from the gas but within a week it all went away. Other than that there was no pain. Best of luck to the both of you.

I am new here too. I was banded on Feb. 25th. Everything went perfect and I was able to return to work on Mar. 2nd. I did have a lot of back pain caused by the gas that they use to blow up your stomach so they can see what they are doing but the more I walked the faster it went away. Good luck to you!!
