I already love this band. I had surgery 3-14, not even two weeks, but I have gotten the attention of some "why don't you just diet" people. The first week after surgery liquid diet had me lose 11 pounds. Nice, I appreciate it. Then a few days ago I moved to my mushie stage. As soon as I moved to mushies, I stopped losing weight. When my friends saw my half-cup meals and water consumption, and I am not losing weight, they said "okay, there is something wrong with your body, maybe you did need the lapband."

Thank you very much people!! I do love the lapband so much already. Not just for the losing weight, but for what it has done for my head. I cannot remember when I felt this good about me. A long time.

Vindication, indeed!

Congrats and keep us posted on your progress.

So, your vindication is that you stopped loosing weight?

I don't get it... but as long as your happy, that's all the matters.

Living well is the best revenge!

hey Lonestar, i had Dr. Marsden as well. congrats on the weight loss so far.

when you lose the weight, your clothes will become loose ...
