Yeah we have all lost weight before but the key is keeping it off in my lifetime which is 22 years of dieting Ihave lost at least 300 pounds and have never kept it off let me verify I kept it off once in my early twenties while being bulemic for four years good luck

It might take awhile to get proper restriction be patient it does work

Chris should be in the top three Elliot however messed up the momentum by doing exceptionally well on tues Chris will do fine he has an amazing voice he has the looks the talent and the body he will get a contract I am however shocked too like he was but you never know I think Taylor is going to win it all soon we will all find out

What is the average most people lose in one year how long can you lose for.

Just wondering has anyone regretted getting there band I met someone in a store getting jeans. she pulled up and 18 and said these are so big. I said I'll take them. She stated I was there once I had gastric bypass and have lost 110 pounds in less than a year. She actually looked really skinny and here I am losing 59 in little over a year I am discouraged it took alot of time to get proper restriction it feels that I have not done well I wanted to lose 100 in a year I am feeling that I made the wrong decision does anyone feel the same please reply

Just asking when do you start measuring weight loss is it your surgery date when you hit that sweet spot I had set goals but haven't met them but don't know when to set the starting point well I guess I'm saying it took awhile to get the restriction I needed to eat less to lose weight just something to think about what does everyone think

Kelli really was awful I was waiting for her to mess up she has never been in the bottom and she has been consistently good can't believe it she was so bad and her eyes looked wierd wonder if she'll get the boot or another chance I think Elliot is going he has a wonderful voice but does'nt have the it factor unfortunately the show was excellent they all did a superb job what voices.

How much in a 4 cc band does everyone have to have consistent weight loss??

Have done it when really have craving and feel guilty about having it

I have had five fills and this last one I have felt restriction like the nurse practioner said it will take 4 to 5 fills to get the restriction you need very impatient but I have lost 56 pounds not where I wanted to be but I will keep trying to find that sweet spot let you know

gooooooooooo.

This is like dejavu my husband met me for the four years I was relatively thin 145 150 5 4 and over our 13 year marriage have gained 100 pounds he was verbally abusive and called me names and said fat jokes and was always hounded me but I felt stuck I have 4 children and had zero self esteem but one day after 10 years of marriage I confronted him and told him I had had enough he was verbally abusive I did not want him if he didn't love me I didn't want him there just for the kids and he realized that he had hurt me severly and he admitted that he did all those things he said that he loved me and he never once after that mentions fat or lazy or none of the choice words he had to describe me. All it does is wear on your self esteem and you end up believing it I did lap band for me but I can say I can't wait to reach goal and jam it in his face.

I want to do it to count me in How are we going to check in with our progress??

What are the cheese balls caused from can they get rid of them I think I have the same thing

The negative is slow weight loss I'm impatient a flipped port and occasional pb but I have lost weight not gained and that is a plus I still want to lose 60 more but at 1/2 1 pound loss a week it will take awhile oh well our time will come

Could you guys tell me when did you quit getting fills when can you tell that this is enough what is the defining factor I have gotten I think 4-5 fills and am scheduled for another one I feel tight but how do I know it could be better please help

I think the band is more follow-up after surgery and it takes awhile to find restriction but I chose it because I didn't want re-routing but I would get rny if this fails. so far okay losing weight very slowly

How much have you all lost?????

I am so upset my husband got in a fight over our computer keeps shutting down so he thinks its from e-mails and this lap band site why who knows then he has to put in his two cents your always on that site and it didn't work anyways I was so upset okay I am not where I want to be yet but I have lost 54 pounds in 8 months with some problems with re-operation of my port it flipped so why is it other people notice and he can't give me credit oh just had to let off steam

Thanks all you guys for the support words can hurt. "It didn't work anyways" I over the years have taken alot of crap because I think I am not worthy but I am trying to better myself and I am determined the lap band will help me thank all of you and I love this site and am staying everyone have a good day.

What are the symptoms of a slipped band from the people who have had one what would be the feelings you have in your body. thanks

I know she is definetly whacked one show she was so out of line it was embarrasing I think Chris is going to win

My doctor does fill 4-6 weeks apart I have had 4 or 5 fills finally I feel restriction very long process.

Just want to say I am at 200 pounds I am so happy that was one of my goals I am on my way look out 143

You know whats true I thought getting the band I would not have to diet but you do and it has taken a long time to resolve to that fact blahhhh.
