Please help! I was banded Dec 24th 2009, and I did great the first 2mo, and have kept it all off however now that its over 6mo ago, the 20lbs I have lost seems petty! I have had some big things go on in my life since March, and seems to be carrying on (my father was diagnosed with MS). Every time I seem to be getting on track something seems to happen with him, and then I just give up again. Also I don't feel that I feel full, or if I'm ignoring the feeling. Twice in the past week I pick up the phone to call my surgeons office to make an appt, but then get worried as to what he will think and say, but if the band has slipped or a fill would be good I would like to get that taken care of. I was so excited going into this and told a bunch of people that now I'm embarrassed to see because I have only lost 20lbs, I feel like I'm a lost cause now. Please help me, I guess I'm really looking for some encouragement and whether to see my Dr or not.

I would love to do this challange how do i sign-up?? Need this as i feel it will greatly help me get back on track. Please help me sign-up!

So, the weight lose is going good, and not that I'm thinking for the next two months, but I'm curious about the fact its said no drinking for six months. I'm curious what the reason behind it is, or is it just because of the empty calories &/or sugar depending on what you drink. Any info pls thanks

I'm new to the site, however had my surgery Dec 23, 09, and was wondering how others are feeling that had the surgery the same day (even week), also any suggestion or key tips from other that had the surgery in the beginning of Dec.
