Yes, I have regrets. Yes, it is my body and I am responsible for it, but I need guidance and there is none from the surgeons office. There is a support group and I learn more from my fellow lapanders than from the nutritionist. I have many questions with no one to ask...trying to navigate this site for information. Lost 50 lbs in the first 6 mos but nothing else in the past 10 months. My eating habits are poor because it is so difficult to eat anything, except those items that slide right down .. ice cream.

Have actually thought about having the fluid removed from my band. weight watchrs might be better than this.
