I read your story and this sound so familiar to me. People are quick to judge. I was also told " have you condiser going to the gym or walking instead of surgery" my answer was your body tells you what is best for you. My body is not at a stage right now to go to the gym. walking? please, i felt as if i were having a race with my heart. by me having the lap band done was a new begining again. to start doing what i needed to do in my 20, and start fresh. now im walking without the rapid heart beats. going to the gym 4 time a week. This surgery was not a easy way out by no means neccessary. we still have a tough road ahead of us for the rest of our lives. lol so no it's not the easy way out. i dislike idiots and jerks!!!! congrats on your decision.

i felt restriction on my 5th fill. right now im on a 5 1/2 cc.

meant to say truly appreciate everyone in taking time to answer me.

i truly appreciate everyone in take and good advice for me. sometimes it's hard to speak to someone who is not going thru with what we all going thru. which is a weight loss surgery. after feel sorry for myself i changed everything i thought i was doing wrong. spend more time walking around my office. changed my printer from my office to the down hall lol. i know this is a up and down battle i'm going thru and a life changing decision i took. everyone comment and support really touch me. happy to say im down 4 more pound today. @@gowalking i will love to join your support group. like i said before it's easier talking to someone who is going thru with the same issue as me. i have my good days and bad days. im at 5.5 cc refill. was so hard at the beginning to adjust to eating. threw up 8 times in one day. not good at all. just came to the conclusion im new to this and need to eating habits. sorry for the long email. sometime is good to vent. thanks everyone

I had the lap band done on November 18th and it's now t March 6th. i have only lost 20 pounds. I thought by now i would have loss more weight than this. truly feeling discourage about the whole thing. making better choice with my food, even joining a gym. I have lost a lot of inches around. please see help. not sure what i'm doing wrong.
