Part of it is my fault because I have lost motivation and don't excercise 6 days a week, but I will get blood work done to see if there is a thyroid issue or something else. I suppose we just have to use it to our best advantage. I suppose comparing our results to others is not helpful for out self esteem. As you probably thought, as I did, I wouldn't have to deal with feeling this way for too much longer. I guess I'm in for the long, long haul. I hope things get better for you in the months to come.

yeah, you are absolutley right!! I just get a bit frustrated sometimes. It is a whole lot easier to excercise with a buddy. I need to get on that too.

I was so excited to see there are other slow losers out there. I have lost a whopping 20-30 pounds since surgery a year ago on the 1st. I didn't have my first fill until Dec 06. I really don't know what my weight was at surgery as they didn't weigh me. Anyway, I know a majority of it is my motivation level and the fact I have to drive 4 hours to get a fill. I sometimes am very embarassed at the fact people know I have been banded for a year and they see me expecting to see some results. I need to get on it and am looking for some support.

This is all very new to me. I was banded in Mexico almost 4 weeks ago. My experience was great and I am losing weight. 20lbs or so. This procedure is very new in Idaho and most people don't know anything about it. I am somewhat of a guinea pig in my area. People are skepical, but curious. This is something I have looked into for a year and a half. Haven't had even a second of regret. I'm happy and anxious to lose and get to my goal.
