Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me joining in.

I was banded in August 04 and to date I've lost 30lbs I've had 3 fills and haven't lost any more weight for three weeks now although I think all the chocolate the house was full of over Christmas hasn't helped.

Hi everyone,

With that little support I have received up to now has done wonders for me, I have new hope and I know where I am going wrong, thank you for those whow took the time to reply.

I have the day off work today and I was eager to send a message to you all.

Is everyone eating solids and if you do have the max. fill do you only go on liquids.

I am seeing my doctor next Thurday for my next fill I will aks how much I have had, up to know I have taken any notice.

For the first year I was getting a lot of pain from my shoulder, the doctor said that was common but everyone gets different levels of pain, I found when I overate it got worse, but it has gone now, that shoulder was more painfull than the surgery.

If anyone has anymore tips for me I would love to hear from you, it is helping a lot.

Have a great day all.
