i use to b on this support site faithfully...MY way was the rite way...wink...wink...no; my way worked for me...but it may not work 4 u...my way included laxatives and exercising until i would literally pass out...ooo yeah i'm in a size 4-6 now..got abs...nice arms and legs...the whole nine...but i didnt do it the right way....when people ask me 4 advice now...i tell them ur way...will b the right way...u all will figure this out...it may take some longer then others...but there is not a member on here that knows exactly what to eat and how to exercise...i am back on here now 2 offer support...but i will not give advice...i have been a huge successful loser with this band...i have also suffered emotional and physical consequences..the excitement eventually wears off...and ur just u...losing weight and becoming thin is not a fix all...it may boost ur self-esteem..u may feel better...its an un-known journey...one u have to take alone...but with plenty of support...we r not experts on here...if we were we would not have needed surgery...don't freak out when u c some1 that lost 50 pounds in 3 months and some1 thats lost 50 pounds in 2 months...that doesn't mean ur doing something wrong...it took me 6 fills to hit my sweet spot...jane doe may have hit her sweet spot with 3 fills...sit back...buckle up and enjoy ur ride...

Just one question....

can you say though that once you hit your sweet spot it really helps the weight come off so much easier?

no....again...i don't want to sound like a jerk...but my weight came off real easy...i followed the rules to a "t"....exercising ....eating healthy and portion control was a breeze for me...i didnt start obessing over my weight till i had my tummy tuck and was already at goal...the obession took over to keep it off and then to lose more and more...
