Hi I was a March bander. But really had a hard time losing the weight and really really hard time. I believe I am just starting the shed the pounds off. I started at 223 when I first go the band, and got down to 195 I couldn't go any lower. So tried a few different methods trainer, gym membership. But couldn't grasp on the new diet and exercise plan until this year when I found a great personal trainer who works with me and gives me great fat burning pills and a detailed food day by day of what I should be eating. I have fell off of it a couple of times but is now making a great progress in April 2009 I weighed in at 215 and now August 2009 I weigh in at 200 pds. Now I am at a point where I can't get pass this 199 -200 mark. But I have noticed I cheat alot more often more of an emotional eater or from being bored so now I am trying to keep myself busy. Not sitting at my desk all day. I am 24 work at a home based business with my family so i live and work in the same place so that had advantages and a whole bunch of disadvantages. So now when i get bored im going to either go was a walk, call a family member or a friend, and start back crocheting.

Hi everyone i was wondering if someone could explain to me how i could manage my eating i know we are suppose to eat a certain amount for each meal...but how do you know what amount to eat..as in how many ounces are there weighs for food????

Just want to see whay ya think?

Ok the pain that i have been feelin for a couple of weeks now, its a pain where my band is i have only have 1 fill and its been a while, because i am soon deciding to take it off since i have been going to the gym and seeing results MAJOR!!! but anyways i was wondering what this pain is, Slippage? Erosion?

IT WAS ME I WAS WONDERING ABOUT IT....thanks for clearing that one up!!!!!!!!

Yep Yep your right he's just like me...see that's where I was getting to with this post.

RIGHT ON!!!!!!!

That's a little funny this answer is similar, to the question if you would vote for Hiliary Clinton:cool:

First of all sorry if you were offended but i don't believe anyone is trying to be predjudice or mean, you asked we answered, my OPINION is that you should not do your own fills, first its dangerous, and you might think everything is going fine now but what if something happens in the long run becasue of this. So this again is an opinion, if you didn't want to hear the truth you shouldn't have posted this thread. What you want us to lie and say oh yea go ahead do your fills yourself.....um...NO sorry

I agree 200% he is the worst president ever, and just plain stupid!!!!

terriable and bad decision idea

Hey can anyone suggest me a doctor in Houston that covers UHC other that Dr. Speigel.

i called them yesterday, and there fills price is to much, see i was banded on march 29, 06 with speigel and at first my fills were only $20 and i have called all the doctors that were recommended through this site and either the fills cost $299 or they don;t take outside patients. so this system is all messed up, so doc speigel is the cheapest with his fills which is $100 each fill so that what i am going with thanks

Acutally its not that easy i was in the same situation, and now no other doctors takes outside patients and there fills are $150 to 299 each time

Hi everyone can anyone refer me a doc in houston, tx that will take uhc and that has fills under $100.

Hi i just want to know the total intake of calories we bandsters should be takin in daily..i know certain doctors tell us certain amount but i wanted to ask you'll the patients thanks

Thanks alot this has really helped me alot

the three days liquid, well kind of I cheated twice. So now I really can feel alot of restriction. Especially in the morning I beleive it took me at least 30-40 minutes this morning just to eat my breakfast. Which was eggs and crumbled up one sausage and some of a biscuit (mashed up). Like yesterday I ate, and chicken sandwich in the morning that took me for ever to eat, then I ate some pineapples (or drank the juice) since i could not eat the pineapple. Then around 5-6pm I am a little bit of a lean cusine meal, but did not eat all of it. Since i could not swallow my last bite i spit it out. I only dranked tea yesterday. Oh and then my brother bought me a salad at mcdonalds that i told him not to buy but he did i only ate about three to four bites. I am glad i am on restriction so i can loose some of this weight. well ok class about to start. oh yea i had a choc. milk this morning. I need to go on a only water right away. ok bye :clap2:

I was wondering if when flying does that make your band tighter, a lady once in the hospital waiting room told me that happened to her when she landed and her and the family stopped to eat and she could not all of a sudden swallow her food at all, and on June 21st I am going to Jamaica so I wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else, I am also going for my first fill tomorrow and I will ask my doc

Well ok today was my 1st fill and my doc was kinda dissappointed in me:confused: cause instead of loosing i gained alot (his words) I felt bad. He ask me what type of foods have i been eating i told him, no snacks and no bread but i said i don't stop when i feel satisfied and thats bad i drink while eating and thats a big nono its like i know this but at times it get hard. But today i go 1.4cc so we can see how that goes. I really gotta get back on my game today. Well let me go now i am going to clean my room, fold my clothes and then sit down and put a exercise scheldule out i am going to start walking because i don't want to not suceed at this band plus that would be alot of money wasted but ok let me go now hopefully this fill will do me some good and help me out with some restriction but ok gotta go.
