Hello, everyone.... I am still here.. Trying as always and aways.. I am still having problems, but trying my hardest to make the best of it all. I think I need a fill..... I heard "one" time that it takes 2-3 maybe 4 fills to hit THAT sweet spot... well even thought I have been banded almost 2 years and I have only have had 1 maybe 2 fills after my new band I need to go back to the fact that it can take 3 - 4 fills to hit that "sweet" spot... so I am waiting and I have not givin up yet.. It has been It has been 20 months since I had the band.. I have lost over 70 pounds.. I am waiting to lose more..I know 70 pounds is good, but a start of 341 pounds, and almost 2 years... is not good, but.. my problems and mayjor complications I guess 70 is really good.... I envy everyone out there that started with me, and has already past me... Love ya!!!

I have been with LBT since Dec. of 2004... and I will always be here even if I dont talk much, I am here... Love ya all!!!!!!

Thanks for listen to me vent!

Hi Trish

Good to see you. Hope this band goes a bit more smoothly for you. Patience is hard - but 70 pounds down is better than a kick in the head, right?

Hugs and Good Luck!

Hey Trish-- it's good to hear from you again--maybe now that the weather is sort of settling down you can make it up here to have a fill. Although, Dr. Smith is out of the country right now--I called to get an appt for a fill and could not get in until the 26th of Feb, and I can't wait. This will be my 3rd fill in about 2 months-- I can't seem to find that sweet spot either. Although, I am doing fairly well with my weight loss, but I do feel like I can eat way to much--I just have to force myself not to. If you do make it up anytime soon, let me know, and maybe we can get together. Hang in there, and e-mail me anytime you want to chat, or just vent.

Gday Trish, 70 pounds lost is terrific!:biggrin1: that is pounds lost and not gained, so I would say you are going great guns!!! Susannah

Trish with all you went through I think 70 pounds is wonderful!

Glad to see you are doing good! Hope you keep posting too!:mad:
