OMG!! CALL UR DR.

I started taking the biotin 1000 gms a few weeks ago and so far I've notice less hair in my bathtub. By the week end I'd have a big clump on the strainer, but lately I've notice less. I'm not sure if I'm growing more hair, but I am noticing less falling out. good luck! P.S I don't take it every day bcause my multivitamin already has it. I take it like every 3 days. Good Luck

I sometimes miss beer, trust me I was a big beer drinker, but w/ the carbonation I can't anymore. There are time (very few) that I'll let a beer sit for awhile just to let it go flat... but it will only be one. Big victory for me!!!! If I do drink I've switch to vodka and diet cranberry. the carb count is low. good luck!

Congratulations!!! Nice way to start the year!!!

I remember back when I decided to go to school to get my Bachelors degree, I kept questioning all the money I was going to spend. (30K) fortunately I had a wonderful mentor tell me, “Why do we question ourselves when it comes to self improvement, but don’t think twice about purchasing a car, a vacation, etc”.

These things are temporary, but this decision is a lifetime of improvement!! You are not just investing in yourself, but as well as for your husband. You’ll be adding years to your life and imagine the things you can do now that you can!!!!

Good Luck on your new venture…

I to went as far as the injections, but decided to stop. I am now 46 with a secret desire that maybe it will happen. Not really trying, but if it's God's will I'm willing to accept. Good luck!

Congrats!! Take it one day at a time. keep coming here for advice and most of all don't compare urself to others. Just because some have great losses, doesn't mean that our little one don't mean a thing. Every lbs, 1/2 lb even an ounce is a victory!!! Listen to your band, trust me it will tell you when enough is enough. and most of all eat your Protein! (plus ur vitamin)

it is the best investment you'll ever make!!!! Congratulations!!!!

Thank you for sharing!!!! it comments like that, that put u right back on track!!! Merry X-mas!!!

my niece did the same thing.... now she get's to celebrate two annivesary (civil & 11 months later church ceremony) whereas, I only get to celebrate one!!! lucky

how many milligrams of Biotin do you recommend?

Try Worldwide Pure Protein Shakes 35 grams of protein and 4 grams of carbs. 170 calories.

same here.... I never got rid of my clothes, so now I'm shopping in my own closet. I was a size 26 pants now I'm fitting in my 22s and a little loose, hoping to get into the 18's by the end of the yr. (maybe 20, but going to give it the old college try)

Tell them not to worry!! Had my surgery on Monday, and went to a job interview on Wednesday. Just make sure you walk around every few hrs.

Why remove the cheese? it's protein.

I was banded in 06/15/09 and so far I've lost 45lbs. I am really bad about exercising! I wanted to say I've lost at least 55 lbs by the my 6 months annivasary, so I may just push myself to start.

i did low carb... high protein. no flour, bread, pasta, potatoe, rice, sugar. couple of eggs for breakfast, tuna for lunch, chicken salad for dinner. things like that. try going to lowcarbfriends.com for ideas.

The best X-mas present you can give to yourself!! congrats...

I had a similiar experience... I called that 1-800 number.. was all schedule and a week b4 surgery I met an attorney. (friend's new boyfriend) He actully did malpractices, so I gave him my info... he made a few phone calls and bam he gave me a history of the place... they were plastic surgeons at first and he had a seize and exist pending on them... with so many lawsuits for their plastic surgery they switched to lap band... he said they have a revolving door of drs. there... needless to say I cancelled and went with another dr. which he recommended.

I'm doing the same thing right now... for the last couple of weeks, my puking has increased, so I started Tuesday going back to liquids and real soft foods. I'm thinking it may be swollen and I need it to go down, especially before Thanksgiving!!! don't need to have an incident in front of my family. If this doesn't work then it back to the Dr's. office. good luck!!

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a support group in the los angeles area, preferably in La Puente, West Covina, Covina and any nearby areas. If you know of any please let me know. Dr. Lui has one but it's in Beverly Hills... too far.

Thank you!

I know the feeling... it's happen to my several times. Now when I enter a resturant I'm always scoping out where the bathrooms are. All I know my band can be moody. Yesterday, I ate some green beans w/chicken at a chinese resturant... band didn't like it. Later in the evening I ate a bean and cheese burrito, was only goint to eat the inside, but tried a few bites of the tortilla and I guess my band like it. Go figure.

she say she didn't.... but so did Star Jones for the longest...

Remember you are not doing it for her.... YOU DID THIS FOR YOU!!!

amazing weight loss.... I'm 22 weeks out and have lost 40 lbs.... I'll take it!!! or should I say lose it!!
