Bandster Hell is the worst, but you know the goal is healing and just not gaining too much is good! Fill is coming soon! -BG

I'm there too...up 2.5 from my lowest today...up down up down. It's frustrating, but I know plateaus will happen and then you'll have a spirt of going down again. Sigh.

Good luck tomorrow, and keep us posted! The head part is hard, but you'll learn as you go along just like the rest of us! -BG

Hey Knewme...I agree that if you are looking for a bunch of answers that posting in our April '09 forum might not be the best place. While we had about 400 in our group to start, we're now down to about a dozen or so (but keep asking us too as we're in the same place). I'm really GLAD that you're coming back for help...I need help every week! I can't imagine that the 400 or so Bunnies are now out there doing perfectly with their band and are at goal and that's why they're no longer posting. Unfortunately I think when people need the help the most is when they shy away from posting thinking they're the only one struggling...the exact opposite of what they should be doing for support...so good for you! I come here more often when I need the support and it helps a lot...I don't think, no scratch that, I KNOW I wouldn't be where I am right now without the support and accountability this has brought me. Keep asking your question in the April Forum and other places...one thing I've learned is that there's always someone here to offer advice or who has had a similar experience. It doesn't get any easier the longer you're into this journey...and I for one will be asking for help no matter how far post-op I am.

Yay! Sounds like most had a good week! Kdee- you're a member of the club now...we're here for support (weekly weigh-ins have been a great motivation for me)! Great job on the 2 pounds!

Great NSV's and glad that esophagus has settled down!! Congrats on the first 20...a GREAT start! -BG

LoseIt- Hi girl (hope you're still doing well). Could you do me a favor and let me know what happens when you try? I checked and confirmed I've set it up for anyone to be able to leave comments (even without a Google account). When you're done and click 'leave comment', it will say 'error' then when you click it again (not just mine...it does this when I leave comments on others blogger blogs, annoying) it should then have a 'word verifiction' you have to enter to leave the comment (they suggest that so you don't get spam), then after you enter the word it should post the comment. I'm wondering if this is what you're getting? Thanks so much! -BG
