    hormone therapy

    I was wondering if anyone has heard of or been treated with the bio-identical hormones called sollopelle therapy(pellets). I'm suppose to start them and I'm trying to get more information. Thanks~ Not yet banded (May'09)

    gaining

    I 20 months out after lapband and haven't been walking since summer so I joined a gym to try and get alittle more off but now I have gained...I am doing about 30 minutes cardio and rotating legs and arms machine....about 5 days a week....been doing this 2 weeks...is it normal to gain when you first start exercising and when will I start to lose...please help getting frustrated...
  3. I seem to relate to you the most...I can eat about all the junk food I want but give me some dense protein and I'm struggling to get 3 bites down. I know I am eating to big of bites and to fast but it is such a bad habit to break, I figure that is why I haven't lost as much as some but I am grateful for what I have lost. I just join the gym and maybe I can be back on track, don't think I need a fill but I think I am about 8.5 in my 9cc band.

    Newbie from AL

    Welcome! Oh how I wish lapband was available when I was in my 20's, I have had the band for about 6mos but I'm 48 years old and I only wish I could have done it sooner, go for it I don't think you will have any regrets!
  7. Welcome back! I look forward to hearing about your experience. I don't post very much but I love reading about everybodies experience.

    Shoulder pain!!! Help!!!

    I still have left shoulder pain and I am 31/2 months out however I have notice it happens more if I get to full or eat to fast, which is probably a good thing. Whatever the reason it hurts like heck! I sure hope mine isn't permanent damage.
  16. Hey Cindy~ I had lapband done May 4th 2009 by Dr. Suggs and I have had 2 fills, the 1st he always does under fluroscope but he didn't have any trouble finding my port on my 2nd fill which was Aug 5th, I told him that I hoped he knew where the port was located and he said if he does the surgery he knows where its at. I was a little nervous but its not a big deal at all, not painful just some pressure and he makes you do like your doing a crunch ( I told him I don't do crunches)LOL Good Luck

    Mayo Banditos / Friday Weigh In !!!!

    202.4 today!!!!! down 27 lbs almost to onederland!!!!!
  20. I was 48 but I wish I could have had it done in my twenties and maybe it would be easier to firm up!!!
  21. I have lost about 25 lbs since May 4th.
  22. I was banded May 4th and have had only 1 fill but it was 6cc and doc said still wasn't tight but didn't want to add anymore. I have pretty good restriction I guess or I've just learned to eat less. I sure hope I don't need much next time or I'll be at 9cc before I know it. I'm wondering if I didn't need a different band. I losing so thats all that matters right now:)

    Fear of the yo-yo

    I know how you feel because I have the same thoughts. I keep thinking this is not permanent, something will go wrong and I'll have to have it removed. Sometimes I have a problem being positive but when you have lost and gained as many times as I have you kinda get that way. Lets just try to stay postive and enjoy the present and not worry about the future!!!

    Port questions

    I cannot see my port, I can feel it alittle. I think it may become visible when you lose alot of weight, It just a little round thing maybe a little bigger than a nickel.
  25. surgery date may 4th lost 17.6 pounds and 20 inches!!!!!:smile2:
