I am sooo Jealous! We have the same OP date, and I am STUCK ON A PLATEAU! You have done great! God Bless!

I just signed on to find ideas/help with the fact I haven't lost any weight at all this month. I have the slimming and PB nearly EVERY DAY but I haven't lost any weight in almost a month. It is hard to believe you can eat so little, throw up what little you do eat, and still not lose weight! Since I am still having these probs, I was putting off getting another fill. Am i going to have to fill to the point i can't swallow ANYTHING to lose start to lose again? I have lost 57 pounds and I really think I am on the right track, but this PLATEAU is really discouraging! Keep trying, don't give up the ship, we'll get there together! God Bless!

So sorry you are having such problems! I can't help you with your questions, but keep posting.. You are in the right place! Just curious.. when were you banded? Have you lost any weight? So the pain around the port is the only reason you are having it removed? Good Luck and God Bless!

Congrats! You don't even look like the same person! -
What a transformation! Good job! -
Congrats! I am so afraid something will happen to my band before I reach my goal or even after.. I am self pay and I would be hard pressed to come up with the money for another one! lol! Everytime I have PB or anything.. it scares me thinking my band might slip..... You have done wonderfully! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the pic comment! Good Luck with your endeavors as well! Hope to see "less of you" soon! lol!

it's funny what will go down and what won't.. sometimes there is no rhyme or reason.. Bread won't go down, but potatoe chips will.. and sometimes I can't even swallow cottage cheese.. but with all the aggrevation.. I WOULD DO IT AGAIN in a heartbeat! It has been a LIFE SAVER for me! I can work my horses, climb over the fences, and walk my German Shepherds without working up a sweat! lol! Good Luck and God Bless! -

9 Months Post Band with Pics from "Before" band, June 2008 -

"Hi there, I am very new to this and a little bit lost. I live in Orange County/Los Angeles Area and see TONS of ads for 1-888-get slim. Anyone out there have any comments or experience with them ? I am very ready to take the step and do this. I am at least 50 lbs overweight with a BMI of 33.9 and have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Would I be a good candidate for this surgery ?... any good Dr to recommend in the OC/ Los Angeles area ?.... what is the average monthly weight loss after the surgery ?... any feedback will be much appreciated ! thank you !" I had my surgery in Tijuana, MX.. and it was a wonderful experience! Dr. Lopez-Corvala was very professional and the staff treated you like a "PERSON" and not a number! The band is doing well for me but it is just A TOOL as you will read throughout this forum.. it is by NO MEANS A "QUICK FIX" as my weight loss can attest to... it still takes determination and some effort on your part! Good luck!

i am not familiar with the 1-800 number you spoke of.. I had my surgery set up through beliteusa.com the care coordinator helped me set up the financing and my plan/travel plans.. They were great! Good Luck! and God Bless!

Read your profile.. No WAY YOU ARE 50! You look great! Congrats on your decision and weight loss thus far! -
I love this pic! You are a Beautiful lady! and there are people everywhere who WISH they could look this good at ANY WIEGHT! Keep your head up and love yourself! -
Just cruising and saw your profile. Hope all went well with your surgery? I am on a "plateau" at the moment. Have lost 57 but stuck for about 3 weeks now. I still have restriction, and I am sure the scale will start to move again soon. Hope the band works as well for you as it has been for me! Good luck and God Bless!

I know this is a tool but....

You sound a lot like me.. I too thought I was eating small/normal portions, until I got the band... After cooking for a few weeks and realizing I was throwing more out than I was eating, I realized how MUCH I HAD BEEN EATING BEFORE. My doc is very agressive with my fills, and I got to my "sweet spot" very quickly (only 2 fills) but now, my weight loss has slowed down. I was losing 1-1/2 pounds a week, then 1 a week, and now it is slowing down even more.. Guess it is time for another fill... Hang in there, I am sure you will get there like the rest of us......... SLOOOOOOOWLY ....... which by the way, will help us KEEP IT OFF! Hope to see "less of you" -
you are beautiful.. the pretty face syndrome don't do you justice! But I know exactly where you are coming from. Congrats on your decision for "change" Good luck with your journey!

giving the band a rest is the best thing you could do. this happens to me quite often. One day i can eat something that goes down easily and is sooooo good.. next day, try to eat teh left overs and they get stuck! Just don't give up. you'll get there!
