I saw my Dr yesterday. He assured me I have not failed, but "refining" my ability to use the lapband. I lost 1# in 6 weeks! He added .5cc and now it seems I can't eat anything! (Well, maybe I will loose some weight!) My oatmeal got stuck today! So I struggled and chewed. Most things got stuck. I probably got 1/2 cup of food down. Hard day! Going on vacation next week. Maybe I will loose some weight! Let's hang in there and REFINE our skills!

I'm glad I spotted this topic! I have lost 15# after the fill and feel like a failure. I don't have any reasons except, I have not changed my lifestyle. I was hoping this would MAKE it so I couldn't overeat. I need some help here. Surgery was 3 months ago. The Dr thinks my band is at the right place and so do I as I still struggle w/ food getting stuck. I need to learn how to eat right. After the liquids for so long I went crazy tasting all the good food. Somehow the sweet carbs don't get stuck! I am hoping the Dr will refer me to a dietician or someone to help me. I so hoped I would be off this shaming rollercoaster with the surgery.

My EKG was Abnormal but I passed the stress test and had the surgery. The nurse said she always has abnormal EKG and it's nothing to worry about.

what a strong woman you are! You will have a good life. You know how far the decision to take care of ourselves goes. Like you, I took a "pre-emptive strike' against all the ailments that go along with obesity. Thank God we have this chance!

I was banded 12/6. Doing great!

Had my surgery 12/7 and the night after I prayed all night I could keep up my end by eating right. I really want to loose weight. I also told everyone and they have been so supportive I want to be a success for them too. But I know I have a problem with food as my reason to live and now I need to think of other things to live for. One is God. I need to be the person I was created to be. Other things I like are card games, music and I hope soon to pick up dance lessons. All I used to do is go out and eat. My friends suggested we meet at a bookstore or Starbucks instead of cafe's. So the surgery is over and the work is now begun! Let's keep on keeping on!

i did on 12/6. I'm afraid to look at the scale. But my mood is great!
