Hello,

I am new to lapbandtalk.com, July 6th will be my 6th month anniversary of my banding. I have not had that much success with my weight loss and have had some problems. Searching for support I came across talkband.com. I hope that it will be a great tool for support and success. I am open to any advice and suggestions that anyone may have. I hope that I may be of some support as well.

I am so glad you found us! I was banded on 10 Feb 2009. I was lucky enough to find this site before I was banded and I got all my questions answered here. You will find there are so many really great people that are so willing to answer your questions. Glad to have you here and keep in touch!

Hi there and welcome! You have definitely come to the right place for support, advice and friendship.

We look forward to getting to know you better.

Hello,

Thanks for the response. Hopefully we can stay in touch and be of support to each otehr.

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you are all doing well.

I'm trying to get back into eating right. I had a couple of bad days of food choices with the holiday weekend. I work at a hospital and everyone brought in food to Celebrate the 4th and of course nothing was healthy. (Funny since we are all in the nursing field and have a bariatric center in the hospital).

I am going back to the Dr. on the 15th to have some of my Fluid put back in. I had to have 2ml removed 2 1/2 weeks ago after a bad migrain. I had severe vomiting that put some serious stress on my band to the point I couldn't even drink Water. Feeling much better now.

I have actually been more suscessful losing weight since they took some of the fluid out? Has anyone else lost weight after having fluid removed?

Once again thanks for the replies and I look forward to talking to everyone.
