well I don't have a problem with losing but it always come back with more, we all got fat by ourself but sometime you have to know when you need help like many addiction and life problems, and the band is my help a tool to get me at a healthy weight and keep it off, I still have to watch what I eat and exercise so its no easy way out .

I sometimes have a little discomfort when lying on my tummy (the left side where the port is located) but it doesn't last long.

I have been doing great with my body bugg I purchase it one week after my surgery as another tool to help with my weight loss. I am so happy that u started before u have the surgery it will make your recovery easier. I only post when I have question or problems that people here might can help with. CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK :frown:

I also had True Results of Fort Worth and had my surgery with Dr. Marsden you will love him he know his job very well!!!!

another bandster post this I tried it and it work!!! OK so I've been "plateau'd" for 2 weeks now and still a little over a week away from my 2nd fill so I thought I'd try this plateau busting diet ... Has anyone else tried it and does it work??

How to break a plateau #1 - Do this for 10 days to break a plateau #2 - Drink 2 quarts of Water a day #3 - You must have 45 grams of protein supplement and all your vitamins/minerals supplements each day #4 - You may consume up to 3 oz of the following high protein foods, 5x a day beef pork chicken turkey lamb fish eggs low fat cheese cottage cheese plain yogurt or artificially sweetened (?)

I agree I read reviews on the bio trainer on amazon and nobody liked it one person said it broke after 2 days

O nly one box that great pre band I would eat 2-3 boxes a day of the shortbread cookies

my first fill was 4 weeks post opt 2cc . maybe because you are going so far that your Dr. will give you more, but I am only 15 miles from Dr. office.
