If you have hit a plateau and you are not doing something bad like eating ice cream all day, I think you need a fill! Good restriction just wont let me overeat...

In the two weeks since my tiny fill I have lost 4 pounds...6 to normal BMI!!

You look fantastic...from here its just fine tuning! I got banded in Orange but I live up here in Pismo.

Just realized I am at 90% of excess weight lost, 7 pounds to normal BMI...thanks mainly to my 'port whisperer" doc!

Oh also since you are new, check out band_groupie and her blog thesweetspot...I recommend reading the whole darn thing...she is our age, is hilarious, and also doesnt diet or exercise or count calories,,,and she lost100 pounds..

Hey, I see you are in Malibu...who was your doc? The key is fills and I dont know why some of the docs are stingey/punitive about them! With a good fill this has been easy...wishing you the best! PS Istole the jeans idea from Lellow...check her out some time, shes amazing!

Beautiful pictures! You look like one of those lucky girls (skinny b*****s) who has never had to think about her weight and has always just been tiny and beautiful!

I have been seeing you posts here and there and I thank you for being a voice of reason among some pretty crazy ideas! You are always wise and reasonable and even understanding toward people who don't take any personal responsibility for their own failures!

Thank you for your thread about your surgery! It really helps me try to decide about my own possible PS...would love to see a before (before weight loss) and compare it to your beautiful after pix!

Plateau for about 2-3 months, so I got a tiny fill (0.3cc) and I am already losing! 8 pounds to normal BMI!

how are things going?

Life is soooo good.

Cant wait for those (bikini?) pix! Thanks for the port info. Mine is really sticking out so maybe he would do the low profile...I'll let you know.I havent lost weight in a while but I dont know if I want a fill tuneup....hmmmmm.

Ok I truly hate this site...I cant figure out how to read the rest of your post after the words "2 pieces" Help! Hang in there,,,you just need more fill I think and maybe even a different fill doc! I went to one closer to home and ended up loving her...shes the one who just kept filling until choked on the water...I have been good ever since.

Hey! Howz it goin? I was wondering if your port was even touched or bothered at all in your TT? Or is it up too high? I am going to go for a PS consult soon...

Splash is just a block down the hill from SLO high School so I think my daughter is there every day! Let me know when you are up here...it would be really fun to meet. I work about half time (every other week) in Sacramento so if I am here, lets go eat chowder! My profile pic is the view from my deck. Its really Shell Beach.

Still doing good? Anything new???

Should take my fat mini dachshund for a walk...she needs a pup-band!

Get those dragonflies to the beach in a bikini, girl!!! Gorgeous!

You are inspiring so many people! You look and sound so happy!

How are you doing these days??

Hey we are the same age! What is your fill level these days? I am 7.5cc/10cc band and perfect I think.

Love the chowder. We usually go to the Splash in SLO to avoid the tourists! I alsolove their tuna tacos but that has left me yakking in one of my glove compartment zip locs on the way home if you know what I mean! We were just down to La Jolla looking at UCSD for our daughter...nice!

You will get a lot of good info and support here. I hope the lap band will be right for you. I self payed for mine two years ago and it is the best thing I have ever done. I have lost weigth slow compared to a lot of people but iam wearing a size 8 or 10 at the Gap and have 10 pounds to get to normal BMI. I have never dieted or exercised since I got my band but it really keeps me from overeating.

You really look great. I think we are similar in what we had to lose etc. I just passed the two year mark but still have ten pounds to go. I have gone slow but never dieted or done anything that I couldnt keep up. I love my band! I would even self pay again if I had to!
