I have already had my surgery by Dr Uchal at allegheny general hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. He has recently left and his practice was taken over by new doctors (Dr Gagne and Dr Urbandt). I havent been to a visit since and I am wondering if anyone knows of any doctors in the Pittsburgh area that are really good for post op follow up and supportive.

I have fallen DEEP off of the boat and I am trying to get back on track. I lost 30lb almost immediately after my surgery and then found all of the tricks and felt like a huge failure so with my husbands support, I am trying to get back on. I recently purchased the Xbox 360 Kinect and the Biggest Loser game and I LOVE it. It is not fun at all LoL. It kicked my butt but it also kicked 7lbs off of me already. I was wondering if anyone else has any of the games and let me know what you think. I love dancing and there are just TOO many games out there to decide.

I recently got the xbox kinect and I LOVE the Biggest Loser game. It does kick your butt from the start. I have been struggling with my weight loss because i feel off of the boat and started a week ago with this game to get back on track and I lost 7lbs in that week.

Thank you for that website. It did help to reeducate. You read so much information at first that sometimes details fail to be remembered.

eating out is def something that i did A LOT prior to my lapband and now i try to avoid it. Its really uncomfortable to be in a public place and have your food get stuck and have to throw it back up. I try to get pasta and cut it really really small. It seems to be the most successful for me at a restaurant. you will find what is easiest for you to do and what isnt. Like the previous person said, it takes a while for me to eat so eating out is hard. i usually get it boxed and take it home to eat at MY normal pace. good luck

I was hungry that early as well. You just have to pull through this stage. It will be rewarding in the end. good luck with your journey

I have absolutely sabotaged myself. there is no doubt about that. I try to think positively about the whole experience but when i look at how far I could be, its discouraging. Thank you mattie for the encouragement and good luck to you as well. June-I wish i could say the same that when i throw up it makes me not want to eat. It just makes me want to eat because i didnt get any of the food in. Good luck with your journey. I read some of our topics and good luck with the tummy tuck. Also if you click on any one of our tickers, you can create one yourself. I think what i need to do is just get over it, and start as if this is a NEW process for me.
