Does it seem difficult to lose weight before during and after your menstual cycle it seems I always put a .5 to 1 pound on prior to my period and it takes so long to get it back off it is so frustrating. The bloat and the retention just frustrated

I thought of it seems you lose weight alot quicker with it. A girl did have the band swithched to rny and she looks great no complications with her but who knows I'm not to quick for more surgery anytime soon although the band is harder than rny because of the absorption factor I guess its a personal matter but I have thought of it too.

I thought Kevin was definetly out but he wont' make it to number 1 anyways he is so geeky. Chris is number 1 vocally. Michele or Mandisa or lisa for the girls. Who knows its lucky they made it this far. only time willl tell.

This is kind of sick but after vomiting now you have less food do you go back and try to eat more need a brick over my head to know when to stop when you get past that point there is not going back pb or vomit

Has anyone reached one hundred pounds off in one year or is this unrealistic let me know

This is a really sad subject but so true we can all remember those terrible moments but the make us have empathy and compassion and hopefully we pass that on to other people. I always teach my kids to be kindhearted to everyone. what ever goes around comes around. they would know if they were in our shoes

Does anyone know if cellulite is reduced or less when you lose weight I have terrible cellulite and was wondering is it gets better with weight loss and another thing has everyones boobs drooped with weight loss

I love Ace he is so hot I spotted him he has what they say star quaility he has it he is appealing and sorry to say looks matter

My goal is 100 pounds too for one year but 80 is wonderful and ill take that too great accomplishment you should be proud.

I would like an opinion on this I told two people at work about my lap band surgery. Another girl at the same time got gastric bypass she told everyone I told the girls I told not to tell. My husband seen another girl from my work and told her I had the surgery that girl asked another girl that we are mutually close to at work is it true she said yes and she wants to keep it quiet. Now that I am losing weight people are asking how. why ,you know the drill. well apparently one of the girls told another girl and you get it rumors are rampant and I don't know how to react I don't want them to know it is none of their business but how do i dispell all the talk I am quite upset it is my business and my life and people should learn to keep their mouths shut please offer advice sorry for being so winded story is complicated thanks

Help I just joined the ymca and I have no motivation to go there I feel I am too fat and out of shape I need some motivation please help

This is another topic but my husband couldn't boil water I hate it when he comes to me and acts like a little child and asking what there is to eat and then complains that he doesn't like the way I cook he is constantly coming to me when we are out eating do you want some bread or want some soda he just doesn't get it and he never will he is skinny never had a weight problem he was not supportive when I was pre op post op or anything he came to me and said he realized he wasn't supportive but I did this for me and I didn't need his approval people don't change and you have to accept how he is

I did quit before surgery and for a month after but have resumed full force I love my coffee I have given up soda all together scared of stomach explosion from carbonation but I do still drink alot of coffee

How much weight are you suppose to lose in approx 6 months I am discouraged I wanted to lose 100 pounds in a year and I am six months and have lost 42 I don't know just frustrated have gotten like alot of fills not up to 3ccs but close I don't know just frustrated help let me know

This girl I know had everything done insurance coverage you have to document rashes,infections,chaffing, smell, etc and if they they deny you can appeal she got her arms, legs, breasts, and stomach done and I know she didn't pay a dime. its all in how things are submitted to insurance wording wise and who your doctor is.

I had mine moved it had flipped and it was too high under my ribs when I bent over I could feel it my doctor moved it down and over I didn't have general anesthesia I opted to have local and be deeply sedated you know what it going on but you can't feel the pain recovery wasn't bad at all nothing like actual band placement little sore but recovery is quick.

I think it is still hard to lose weight with the band I am six months out and just getting a mind set that I have to eat the right food and basically still quote unquote be on a diet anyone who thinks this is easy I think it is not its still alot of work just vending

the longest incision is the port site hard to know where it is all doctors put them at different places but it is always the longest one thats were the fill will be
