I desperately need the help. I am over a year out and lost 50 then gained back 15. I am not doing good and think some support would do me good.

HELP!!!!!

You're doing great Ashley!!!! :)

You can always be my buddy!!

Hey germaine whats up? How are you doing?

not good...what's your secret to all that weight loss?? i was banded on 12/16 and only lost 11 lbs, that really sucks...just got my 1st fill on 1/18 and my dr says that i shouldn't be concerned b/c i didn't have any fluid in my band so he didn't expect me to lose much. He said that i won't start losing until I've had a few fills but i read post from others that have lost alot even b 4 their first fill...I'm getting discouraged....

I truely need a buddy/metor its almost been a year and i havent lost very much . I am depressed from this !

I REALLY need a mentor.

For my first band, the tubing was never connected, making it worthless.

This time, however, the band is working great!!!

I have so many questions and want to do everything right to make sure this band continues to work for me.

Thanks,

Terry

I could really use a mentor/buddy. I am still pre-op and scheduled 4/5/12. I'm in Camden county, NJ.

Ashley -- I wish more people on this site would step up and offer to mentor. There's clearly a need. I'm still a pre-op, so I'm in a holding state. Did the medically supervised diet, but I'm changing docs so things are on hold till April 2.

Keep up the good work!
