I See that waist trainers are very popular now. I was wondering how and if it worked with lapband. My port is noticeable so I don't think it would be a good idea for me. I really want try the waist trainer but I don't want to screw up my band. Do you are anyone you know with a band use a waist trainer?

From 250 to 183!

Only a few more pounds to go to reach my goal!!! Hoping to be at goal by my band anniversary.

I wouldn't try anything without approval from my doctor. I am curious to know if anyone with the band has tried it. I've met several people that diet from time to time with the band.

My band is an amazing tool!! I've lost 80+ pounds in 10 months! I'm 11-15 pounds from my goal. Many of my co-workers are doing the plexus diet. I'm just wondering how it works with the band. Does it work with band? Have you tried it?

When I started this journey in july I only ate 1/2 cup of food. I measured everything I ate. If it fit into the half cup that's what I ate. No matter what food it was. Now I measure everything into 1/4 cup serving. When I go out to dinner I can't make a decision so I get coffee for refried Beans. Everyone else I know eats a lot more. I was just wondering if anyone else eats like me. No, I'm not starving myself!!!

Hy does my neck hurt so very bad. It started a few hours after I ate. I remember hearing something about neck pain but I can't recall exactly what was said.

I was banded at true results by Dr.B. My only issue is seeing different aftercare people every time you go. It's hard to build a relationship with them. All of my fills are covered for the first year.

Read a while back that papaya enzymes were good for PB'n. Do any of you use these? I need more insight.

I understand how you feel and there are a few people on this site that "knows everything about everybody's band" .. I just ignore EVERY comment they make. Some people are just giving advice because they know what worked for them and they just want to share. I love to read the success stories of others and their technique. What I don't like is for people to get angry and band bash because of their irresponsibility post band. I worked hard and sacrificed to pay for my band out of pocket! So, yes I will treat my band with respect and I will continue to talk about my success. Find you a few people who you can depend on for true HONEST support. I have an awesome group of gals and we celebrate together and we tell the truth to one another. I wish you the best on your journey

yes MFP and Fitbit are my beasties right now

Zingy I also chart on MFP. I've been doing it since I had surgery in July.

Is/was he your doctor? I'm looking for a friend that has the same doctor. I was advised to find some of his patients because we have the same expectations. It's hard to compare my weight loss to others because each doctor requires something different.

SMH! OMG!

I have a 10cc band and my doc put 5 cc in at surgery. I love him for that! He started me off in the green zone . I haven't had a problem I'm averaging 2 pounds plus a week and its great. I've been banded for 2.5 months.

Do any of you have a fitbit? It motivates me to keep moving until I reach 10,000 steps. I don't go to bed until I reach my goal.

From start to finish it only took 2 weeks:). I thought I was dreaming

Have you received your band card??? I mailed my paperwork the day after I had surgery nearly 2 months ago and I still haven't received it yet.

Did anyone ever mention how many calories we are to have a day??

Today is the first day of my pre-op diet. Needless to say I am starving!! To top it all off I have a wedding to go to at 3. I'm praying that The Lord gives me the strength to stay on my plan.
