I DEFINITELY need help reaching my goal..I was banded in June of 2008 and had to have my port replaced in June of 2009..I was beginning to really loose when my port started leaking. I changed doctors (for another reason) and the new one replaced my port. Since then I have not lost at all what I feel I should have..PLEASE HELP!!!! I AM REALLY GETTING DISCOURAGED and thinking I should have had the gastric by-pass surgery instead!

THANKS for your reply..I am going to leave the wine off and see if I don't have better success. My port was leaking; therefore I had to have it replaced!

WAY TO GO!! That is an awesome feat and you should be very very proud of your accomplishment. I have not been very successful and am quite discouraged. Wish you could help me w/ tips and advice?! At what point do you really feel "full" and sometimes I am hungry shortly after eating. I also feel that I am able to consume more than I should be able to (1/4 to 1/c cup) Just VERY FRUSTRATED!!

just wanting to know exactly at what point can you tell you have had enough to eat? I have recently changed doctors and have had my 2nd port put in. I still believe I am able to eat too much and sometimes I am hungry shortly after eating?! I am also still drinking wine..please give me some advice!!! Many thanks
