I had the same problem just kept losing weight because couldnt keep anything down. Lived on muscle milk. Finally had some taken out and now have put on about 20lbs.

Can anyone recommend someone in Burlington or Camden County NJ that doesnt charge a fortune for a fill without insurance. Only need about 1cc to get me where I need to be. Thanks

Well I don't want to completely unfill but tomorrow I go to have some taken out because I am way too tight and have been since Dec but didn't have the money to have it done, I vomit constantly and care barely eat anything so thats why I am having some taken out but I was just curious if it is possible. I think I will prob. only have 1cc taken out I only have 5.66 in there and I was pretty good at 4 but I was losing my insurance and thought let me get one more fill well that over did it!!!!!

Hey Mimilou did you have some fluid taken out or you kept it the same?

Is it possible to have almost all the fluid removed once you hit goal? By now I am good at keeping track of calories and exercising. Is it possible to maintain a healthy weight without the bands help?

Mine has definitely not I haven't had a fill since Dec and I am going back tomorrow to have some taken out and I am only 5lbs from goal.

I agree with the above focus on calories and def need to increase the exercise and intensity even if include an extra day or add 15 each time and change up the exercise!!!! Good luck

Actually sounds good, do you know how many calories?

I dont feel exactly like that but i feel really uncomfortable when people compliment me on my weight loss like I dont deserve it bc I took the easy way out!!!

That is great Scott you have lost a good amount prior to surgery!!!! Have you been out to take a small walk? Well today woke up and another pound gone forever its been a few months so I am excited!!!!!!

Great job joining the gym thats a huge step. That is the best thing i did beside surgery. Just dont give up the energy will come along.

Yes I have been doing well, I have about 9 more lbs to go to be at goal weight but seem to be a a plateau right now but I am not complaining am so happy to have accomplished what I have so far. So it seems that all you guys are newly banded, Wow shakey88 40lbs in 30 days that is awesome. I am lucky to see 1lb come off now in months but hey what can you do. I don't always eat the best but I do exercise pretty good.

I am from the Moorestown area, I was banded back in May 2010. How is everyone doing so far?

Anyone from NJ/Phila area???? Would like to find some local support....

I got my last fill in Dec and stayed at 135 since then so don't feel bad but I can say I have changed it up and dropped some calories so don't give up it will happen
