Hello

31 F banded on Feb 26, 08 by Dr Ortiz in MX. I have lost 43lbs including pre-op. I have pretty much plateaued - even yo-yoed within 10 lbs. I have lost motivation to excercise and eat right. If anyone is out there who would like a buddy - and be all GUNG-HO to a healthier weight and lifestyle together, I would love a mentor/accountability partner. Email me at shampoosh@gmail.com.

I feel the same way you do. I was banded 12/3/07, 1st fill 1/4/08 and only lost 64 lbs., but have gained 8 lbs. back. I was told today by my doctor while having another fill, when you weigh alot before surgery, you may only lose this and it may be it. He also stated he has changed his mind on exercising. He used to say eat 19 potato chips, walk 2 miles, now he says that is unrealistic. Yeah! I hate to exercise. But I work in Schaumburg, IL and live in Genoa, IL. Email me if you want to keep in touch. Then we can exchange email addresses.
