My husband and I were jumping on one at our friend's house the other day and we were both winded after a few minutes. We liked it so much that we might get one as well.

Plans for today: 1 mile jog - completed 150 crunches - completed squats/lunges routine - completed 1) 3-way roll-up - 12 2) split squat w/ stretch - 6 3) split squat w/ lateral raise - 16 4) balancing leg raise - 20 5) side lunge w/ punch - 20 200 toe/calf raises - completed resistance bands - completed 1) 75 reverse butterfly 2) 45 tricep curls 30 push-ups - completed 30 reverse (tricep) push-ups - completed

This sounds just like me. I'm 35 with no kids...although, I do have an 8 year old step-son. My husband and I hope to get pregnant at the beginning of next year.

Congratulations, Terri!!

All I can do is relay my own experience. I'm almost 10 months post-op and I've never had a problem with my band. Please keep in mind that the people who do have problems are a small fraction of the total number of people banded. They are also more likely to post about their problems than those that don't. Think about it...if someone is not having a problem they probably won't start a thread such as "Hey, I have no problems!" If, God forbid, you do experience a problem and need your band removed, it will most likely be an emergency situation, which would land you in the emergency room and should be covered under most insurance plans. I hope this eases your fears. Hugs, Tricia

Congrats to everyone on their weight loss this week. And kudos to those who have maintained. Here are my stats.... C 191 (- 83 total, - 0 this week)

Great news, Melanie. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

1. age at banding - 34 2. if they have had gall bladder surgery - no 3. tips for avoiding reflux - I have no tips to offer because I've never experienced reflux, even before surgery
