    Shoe Size

    I too went from a 10 wide to 9 .... i thought it was the shoe but nope i went and tried on 10-20 pairs... i have been a size 10 for over 14 years i hope to go down to an 8
  11. I like it for the support group... we are like family... my dr has a support group once a month but weekly for me is a great way to keep me in check... I know everyone in there is watching me, to see how i did and that pushes me to do better the next week.... i am the type who needs that push... my family dosnt and I have lost 2 of my best friends after the band so this is why I pay the 40 a month..
  12. I did jenny craig before band... the food was very good BUT 300 a month plus your own veggies, fruits and milk.... in there menue is a lot of pastas,i do NOT do any kind of pasta or bread now so its deff out of the question... WW is on your own food you go there to wi and all of the support is GREAT ! 40 a month and if you find the right group it makes a world of diffrence ! good luck....

    Wake up with no band!!!!

    Did you talk to your dr about IF the band had to go could he do the sleeve? I know a lady who lost her band due to a car accident and she told him to do the sleeve if it couldnt be repaired or put back in. it did turn out she had the sleeve and is still losing..... good luck, i know i would feel the same as you. I LOVE my band but u need to eat to live..... in my prayers !! Amy

  23. LOVE this thread !!!! I was banded Dec 13th 2010 , i looked into lap band for 3 years before looking for the right dr. it took me 3 tries before finding MR right ! my dr and staff are WONDERFUL ! I have had many stuck episodes and had that slime thinggy BUT over all i would do it again and I am very open about my band I tell just about everyone if i can be this happy ( i wasnt for way tooo many years ) they should know they too can be this happy !! i am down 42 lbs and more clothing sizes to count cause every ones sizes are diffrent to start with. I go to the gym 4 times a week and do 2 classes each time... sometimes I get lost in the gym and spend 3 hrs there..if you would have told me in Nov i would be a junkie to the gym I would have laughed at you ! i do spinning , step and now Zumba....along with my water workouts... this band is the BEST thing i have ever done for MYSELF !!! my hubby wasnt too happy about it but now when I get dressed up and other guys look he is smiling. we have been together for 17 years and havnt been this small in over 15 of them... thanks again for this post ! Amy
