  1. Thanks for the info. Does the support group meet every Tuesday or just once a month? I attended one of those meetings before I had surgery, but I have not attended since then. I live approximately an hour from Charlotte just over the Union County line in Anson County, if you are familiar with that area. I live in a little town called Peachland.
  2. Hi! I am new to this website. I was banded on August 26, 2008. My highest weight was 278 and today I weigh 213. I was banded by Dr. Keith Gersin at Carolinas Weight & Wellness Center in Charlotte, NC. I have a 9 cc Realize band and I am suppose to have 7.5 cc in now. I am scheduled for another fill on May 6th. I did not have a fill at the last appointment because I had lost 10 pounds. I have not lost a pound since that appointment April 1st. I have not found that "sweet" spot yet. I feel good restriction in the am, but lose it by the pm. I have found myself resorting to old habits and I think this is due to frustration. I am hoping to find the support I need at this website. Thanks, Wanda
  3. Hello! I was banded in August 08. My highest weight was 278 and today I weigh 213. I have a 9 cc Realize band and I currently have 7.5 cc in the band. My next fill appointment is scheduled for May 6th. My surgeon was Dr. Keith Gersin at Carolinas Weight Management and Wellness Center in Charlotte, NC. I am hoping this website will give me the support I am so desepartely needing. I am getting a little fustrated because the weight is not coming off like it has and I exercise on a dialy basis and watch every morsel that goes into my mouth and the scales are not moving. I find myself resorting back to OLD habits and I think this is due to my fustration. Thanks, Wanda
