Dave_NW you made my day! Been a while since I was told I was smart. Thank you! I just thought someone might bring a camera out and say it was a prank, but it is real life crazy people. I am like you I am 51 and want to lose 15 or 20 more but if I don't and stay where I am at I would be happy too. When they pass away at least their caskets will be light , , , sorrythat was rude , , , but they were laughing at me.

You're welcome. :)

It feels so good to be able to eat again. If you are too tight please go for that little unfill so worth it!!

That's insane! It sounds like they have eating disorders and need psychological help!

Hard to believe anyone could get the band at 136 pounds (female) . I weighed 185 and the OR nurse told me I was the smallest person she had ever seen getting banded. I am in Houston Texas also and when I go to fills (true Results) I never see people thin like you saw. They must have real issues, I think fills are rather expensive. I got one year of free adjustments with my surgery so have yet to pay. Just wondering where you went?

First crazy people I have met in over 2+ years. But they were enough for a lifetime.

I've had my band for 2 years too but I'd never go that crazy and have it that tight! It can't be healthy and eventually it WILL catch up to them. Sounds like a vicious, contro freak cyle to me. None of us ever want to gain weight and none of us ever want to give up hope of being our dream weight. BUT the gains we've made health wise should be what matters, not if we ever make that magic number or not. They have gone to the extreme for sure.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
