I found out today that the military hospital in South Korea doesn't do lap-band only bypass. :crying: I am disappointed but not devastated. I'm going to keep trying on my own to loose the weight while we are here and if nothing happens get it when we move again.

So hopefully I'll either by slimmer or joining you all in two years.

I don't know if you will get back on to read this but I wanted to encourage you to keep trying on your own.

My loss with the band was very slow until recently I started using MyDailyPlate. It is on the Livestrong web site. I am not a Lance Armstrong fan but I am a DailyPlate fan. I have tried to use several of the online food trackers and was never able to stick with it because it took too much time or whatever. MyDailyPlate is great. It helped me set my target calories and tells me how I am doing with that plus it tracks fat, carbs, sodium, and Protein information which are all keys to weight loss as well. I need my protein's to be high (100% or better) and the others to be under 100%.

Focus on nutrition (including water) and exercise and you should see improvement in your health even if you don't see weightloss.
