Hey Bandofhope if I am not mistaking I think Lisa told me I am at 7.75 or 8.25 its one or the other. That is how I was. I couldn't get it to come off for nothing. After my last fill though it started coming off so I think you just haven't got to that sweetspot. You will get there though. Good Luck on your fill.

Hello Everyone, I haven't been online in a long while. I am doing great. I only have 36 more pounds to go before I am at goal weight. I had a slow start and just couldn't get the pounds to come off. Went in for a fill in Sept. and I guess I finally hit my sweetspot b/c since then the pounds are shedding. I am gonna have to start back coming to support group. I am in nursing school and my weekends are dedicated to studying but I miss you guys and will have to come soon.

Hey Everyone, I am glad to say that I am back on track. I have been doing great. I went in on Monday to get a fill and I have been working out. I swim 20 laps four days a week, do Water fitness four days a week, work out in the gym four days a week, and I walk 2 miles at least 5 days a week. I have lost 1 lb since Monday. Yay me. I will not get back off track. I will be at my goal by Oct or Dec.

Thanks I think I am back on track now. Dr. Key is pulmunologist and he is great he tried every med in the world including theophellyne ( i think I spelled that right ) lol which I still take now. The steroids are what seems to keep me breathing. I just have to remember I have the support and use it. I will not cut myself off from it again.

Hey guys how is everyone. I haven't been on here in a while nor have I been to group. Things are not going great for me at all. : ( I got sick back in Oct. I caught the flu and had to go into the hospital which meant STEROIDS which is not good. I then got sick again in Nov and had to go on them again this time a larger dose and a longer time on. I had an asthma attack in Dec and once again was in the hospital on another round of STEROIDS through IV. So if u haven't guessed by now I gained back alot of my weight. I got frustrated and stopped trying b/c I felt like I was once again fighting a battle I could not win. I didn't get a fill for about 4mos. I cut myself off from group which was BAAAAAD. I really think I needed u guys but I just could not bring myself to come to any of the group meetings. I went in for a fill last week and am proud to say that I think I am back on track. I talked to Lisa and told her that I was on the verge of giving up and she told me NO that is what they are all there for, TO HELP. I will hopefully be at group this month. Please keep me in ur prayers b/c I really need the strength to make it through this. The steroids scare me b/c that is where alot of my weight gain came from and haveing to continue to be put on them to better my breathing scares me into thinking that I will never lose my weight and be able to keep it off.

Hey everyone ! I haven't been on in awhile and I missed the meeting this month. How was it? Jason, just got your msg. Thanks for checking on me. I am doing good. I have lost a total of 40lbs so that's good. I have been on my bike and walking and my husband and I are going to start an aerobics class. I also will be starting school on May 26th. I also got some bad news, my Uncle past away yesterday morning. So if you guys will please keep me and my family in your prayers if will be greatly appreciated.

Hey Saved I had him for an unfill and he was pretty good. I didn't have any problems with him. Oh and by the way Congrats.:smile2:

Hey everyone It's been awhile since my last post. I have been reading all the post I missed. I hate I missed group last month but I will be there this month will bells on. LOL ! Jason I love the t shirt idea. ethannme I think that you should call and get another fill. Maybe this one will be your sweet spot.:thumbup: I just got a fill on 03/04 and I am scheduled for another on the 26th but I think I am going to call to see if I can come in next week b/c I don't have any restriction. So like I said I think you sould call and see what they say. Hey friends I need a little kick start, I have not been exercising like I should and it is really showing. I have only lost 3lbs in three weeks.:thumbup: I don't know why I have been so lazy. Who's all coming to group this month?

Hey everyone I haven't been on in the past wk. First I want to say thanks to everyone that gave me advice on my little problem. I called the office and they told me that they would give me a fill when I get back.(I'm leaving to go to Chicago on the 17th) The good news is I haven't gained any wight back. :thumbdown: I will not be at support group this month b/c I will be out of town. Does anyone know if the plane ride is going to make me feel tighter? Hey Shawna, I finished Twilight. Greaaaaat Book. I have started on the next one.

Good Morning I have a question. Remember my first fill was a bad one and I had to get an unfill b/c I was throwing up everything I put in. Well that has been almost two weeks ago and now I noticed I feel no restriction. Yesterday, I fixed me an egg for breakfast(this is usually all I can eat)but after eating it I was still hungry. I did not feel full at all. I also noticed that I am getting hungry way before 4hrs.(It's more like 1 1/2 to 2 hrs and I'm hungry again.) I don't want to gain any weight back. So this brings me to my question, Should I call and see it they will give me another fill? Please Help.

Good Morning Everyone, I hope everyone is doing fine. I had a little trouble with my first fill. I could not eat anything and was vomiting all the time (I couldn't even drink water):crazy: so I had to go and have an unfill on Friday. I never felt better. Dr. Schmitt took out 1 1/2ccs. I have lost a total of 3lbs since last Monday. I have also went down from a size 20 to a 16 in jeans(whoo hoo):scared2:

:thumbup:Kani, congrats on not getting sick today.:thumbup:

Morning everyone Had my first fill yesterday and Shawna you were right it was WEIRD. I got 3cc. Hey Stephanie it wasn't that bad at all. How did yours go? Oh yeah, Shawna I got the book started reading yesterday.

Hi, I am a patient of Dr Schmitt. I LOVE him. He is very sweet. The staff is also very nice and helpful.

Missed you at group on Sat. How is everything going?

Hi everyone! Thanks to SkinnyLou, Fordgal88, and Di4AU for telling me about this site at support group on Sat. Also thanks again for being there for me. I go for my first fill today, does anyone have any advice.
