Hi My name is Crystal I was banded on 10/31/2008 by Dr. Kurt Sprunger of Scottsdale Baratric. I have lost 46lbs and 6 of those were 2 weeks after my first fill on 12/16/2008.

so do you think depression causes us to overeat, or overeating causes us to be depressed....I personally think that eating is a way to "medicate"....

Oh well... my moment of depression shall pass. I am looking forward to hearing how your doctor appointment goes tomorrow.. I hope you get that "sweet spot" of restriction that everyone talks about...

Good luck!

I wish I knew the answer to your question. I could make a lot of money. I know for me it is some of both. Yes I took eat to medicate. I am trying to find out what pain I am trying to stop. I am trying to face the fact that the emotional pain will never stop and I need to learn not to eat to make me feel better. I have a few things that I am working on.
