Is the Isopure good? I have never tried it. Denise

I hope I'm doing this right. Hi everyone I'm new to this site and am not sure how to do this. I've been banded 2 yrs on May 3. I haven't lost as much as I would have liked but I didn't gain it either. I've had to be deflated a couple of times and there was not as much info when I got my band or maybe I didn't pay close enough attention but I was not as aggressive with my fills as I should have been. But now I've wised up a little. I would appreciate hearing from anyone with ideas on how to get off plateaus. It seems like when I get a fill I'll lose a little and then not lose anymore until my next fill. Anyway glad to be here . :funscale: Denise Weatherford,Texas

I was banded on May 3,2004 by Dr Adam Smith, he's terrific, I started out at 308 and am down to 249. I was deflated once because of an hernia at one of my incision sites (more surgery) and once because of bronchitis. Too much drainage and coughing. I go walking with my husband when time allows. I still get fills and am not at what Dr Smith calls my sweet spot just yet. I have a large band that holds 10 cc's and am at 8 right now. I have lost a lot more inches than pounds so I have dropped several sizes. Denise Weatherford, Texas
