Wow! My story is that I never lost weight. The people taking my weight at the doctor's office looked puzzled but no one tried to look further into it. A few months after my surgery the doctor increased the fill prices and I could not afford them. I was left with a huge credit card bill; I would have been happier with a tummy tuck. I wish I had not done it. I was so hopeful. I am now a health and wellness counselor; I offer my clients nutritional and emotional support while they get healthy and a big "side effect" is weight loss. I'm becoming healthier and losing weight too. I wish you all the best.

I got mine 2 yrs ago when my daughters were 8,6 and 4 yrs old and they still don't know. My reason is because I don't want them to tell their dad (we are divorced).

I got banded in 2007 and the band did not work for me even getting filled I was still gaining weight. I started taking a diet pill in January '09 and I have lost 40 lbs. These pills cut hunger and craving.

WOW! Congratulations!!

I paid 16,000.00$ in Gainesville

You look awesome!!! Congrats!!

I thought about the same because my doctor charges 250$ per fill but there are too many down sides and I would not stick myself on purpuse.

WOW you look great!! Congratulations!

Congrats you look great already!

Julie you are looking fantastic girl! I hope you feel better soon.

Barbara, You are in my prayers. Well ladies, I am losing very slowly and as of this morning I am at 198 and that is a total of 20 lbs lost since surgery day. My mother just keep mentioning all the people that she is hearing of that had the gastric bypass and have lost a lot of weight already and that's got me fuming, she also emails me diet pill adds and diets that she hears of. I am 32 and I dieted since I was 12. I tried to explain to her how lap band works and how my body works but it is like talking to a wall, they (my dad also) don't listen, I guess they thought I would have this done and a month later I would be down to 100 lbs and because ths has not happened they are frustrated. I am too and so it is a touchy subject for me since I am frustrated already about it. Sorry about the rant but I am really frustrated.

I have my husband hide it all. He loves junk food and I told him he can buy it but he has to hide it and when he eats it I go for a walk or somewhere where I cannot see him. I have gotten to the point where I can see him and the girls eating it and it does not bother me because if I eat any junk food I get sick, I get headache and dizzy and feel lethargic and cannot think straight and no cookie is worth that. Hello ladies I am new to this thread. I am a very slow loser; I got my band in June 2007 and I have lost 20 lbs, 10 of which I have lost in the last 2 months.

Julie: {{{{hugs}}}} sorry to hear you are depressed but glad to hear your legs are doing better. Dalia

Go Suzzzie!

Thank you Wombat!

Oh ladies I am finally loosing weight! I guess it just took me 6 months to learn how to work with the band. If something gets stuck I will not eat it again so I have cut out a lot of things. I guess that is working. I have lost 18 lbs since surgery. 8 in the past month and a half.

You look amazing!!

Julie You look awsome!

That's what I thought-men liked it but I guess I got the one that doesn't

Thanks Big Baby!

After only losing 15 lbs during pre op diet and right after the surgery and gaining 5 of those pounds. I wrote down all foods that not only get stuck but I don't digest well and have taken them all out and I am left just veggies and fruits so I started to eat natural and nothing that comes from animals and the only carb is whole wheat pasta. I have lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks. So I am finally loosing. As for a fill I have one free fill left and I am not going to use it until it is absolutely necessary.

My husband does not like me on top, I will ask him and he will let me but then he looses his erection so we only do on my back and doggie style. When he is on top I feel like he is about to smother me with his chest and I can't really move and do not feel as sexy as I do when I am on top. So lately I have been faking orgasms and during the week I do my thing. To top it all off we only do it every other Friday because of his schedule and mine are very different until the Fridays that the girls go to their dad's house and we can relax. When I brought it up he said that he does not feel manly when I am on top. I do rather be on my back than to have to sit on him while his erection vanishes.

MBANJA: Yes, I have been reborning for almost two yrs and I have no secrets. I can help you with any info you need. My email is dalia421@yahoo.com contact me at any time.
