Thank you. That just may be my only option. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App April Lace Wigs (http://www.aprillacewigs.com/) and RPGShow (http://www.rpgshow.com/) have great affordable wigs. You can find reviews on YouTube for some of their units. I purchased this glueless unit (http://www.aprillacewigs.com/glueless-full-lace-wigs/134-italian-yaki-silk-top-bleached-knots-all-around-bw0080.html) from April Lace and I love the texture. It is comparable to relaxed African American hair.

Glitter Eyes, Thanks for suggesting collagen - this makes sense. I ran out and bought Neocell Super Collagen (powder). Hopefully it will help with my skin as well. N~

Hi all I haven't been in the place in a while. I have managed to keep about 60lbs off but still not at my goal. At a doctor's (primary care) visit last week, he told me that I had gained 10 lbs over 2 years. That didn't surprise me - I had allowed other life matters get me off of workout schedule, drink more wine and I definitely noticed the difference in my clothes. I immediately got back to the gym (even bought a weighted hula hoop) but the glass of wine after work is still kinda habit/addiction. I go through spurts of eating well and spurts of eating junk. I haven't had much,if any, trouble with my band. I don't visit the doctor often but I am contemplating another fill, given the weight gain. This is life's work fa real! R~

Faithmd, I am right there with you. I am kinda frustrated and dissapointed especially when I go to the dr. and he's looking at me like "you're not doing what you're suppose to do":mad2:. I've realized that this is a journey - highs and lows. As Captain Danbo said, sometimes I feel it's working sometimes not. I have no regrets, but am actually grateful for the experience, even if I don't lose another pound. I have learned to LIVE! You have the right attitude - don't give up! N~

On Friday I went in to see the doctor only to learn that I only had 2cc in band versus the 3cc they had been telling me I had. I have been struggling with weight loss - due impart to my own devices - and had become discouraged. Yet at that moment of learning about my band I asked myself "will you choose frustration or motivation?" With motivation I had so much more to gain - a renewed hope and kick (my doctor is the) ass attitude. It's all part of the journey... Realize that you are on a journey to higher consciousness & embrace it. Expand your awareness through meditation & contemplation. ~Deepak Chopra
