Let me start off by saying I do not have the best support system at all. I had some complications with eating from my band and felt like I was having a heart attack each time I swallowed any food. I went through that for about 6 months all the while I kept getting readjusted. My family could be so much more supportive if they weren't so busy talking crap and putting me down every chance they get. So, anyone who's willing to help me go along and start from the basics again to get to where I need to be, will be gladly appreciated. I've had my band for about a year now and have lost about 50 pounds, but I still have quite a few more pounds to go to reach my goal weight. Looking forward to hearing from anyone!

Sorry to hear that. I really believe that my support friends have helped me keep on track. I attend atleast 2 of the 4 weekly Monday night meetings and also meet with my emotional eating group once a month even though our 6 week course ended last April. Support is huge, I am here for you. Message me anytime!

PS.....let's see them try and lose 10 pounds let alone 50!
