My name is shall this is my second band, 1st one slipped and i did manage to lose 80lbs only because i threw up all the time.Now my weight loss is very slow since march 2010 only 25lbs down.I went and got a fill last week , in which i cant swallow water, soup or nothing.Im trying desperately to hold on to this fill. I know this one will do the job.within the week i have lost 7lbs already. Cant eat anything right now but the end results will be great.
