Everyday I read posts here, from people saying they need to eat more.....Then I read posts from people saying they need a fill....

Just goes to show you that people find their goals and are100% successful from different avenues and approches with this surgery....there is obviuoulsy no certain hard fast approach, as all the testimonies on this website prove....

I for one have my story for success,and my approach, just as others have theirs....it does not matter whose approach is correct, being that they have all led to succesful weight loss journeys....and complet patient satisfaction with this procedure (surgery)

As they say, you cannot argue with experience resulting in a positive outcome...and when they have shown their approach to work, if to no one else but themselves, then what else matters???

So when I read all these different, conflicting posts, what does it matter? Other than I am glad people are finding their success...that's all that matters...

True pearls of wisdom...and about time someone pointed out the obvious!

We are all adults, and though there are active posters who are passionate about their weight loss journey's, they don't need to write devisive and mean posts just because someone else does'nt agree with them.

There are many paths to take...wishing success to all.

We are all different but are all the same "banded" together. Listen and learn from each other but listen to yourself and your instincts first. I am someone who can eat any item I want, doesn't matter if it's a bag of chips, but if I am over that calorie goal, I won't lose. I can eat all fruits and vegetables all day and if I don't stay in my range, doesn't matter, I gain. But I know me, and I know that I got banded for the maintenance portion of my weight lose more than the losing portion.

Good luck everyone!!
