I have RLS and I take ReQuip. It is a little pill and doesn't get stuck. I will have to say that since my banding, the late nights have gotten fewer and farther between but every once in a while, I still need a bit of help. No side effects from Requip for me.

I am at a plateau right now and it is the same weight I held for quite a while. It has been about 3 weeks and I am so ready to start losing again. What can we do to jump start our weight loss again?

Hi all.....so I have been on a plateau for about 2.5 weeks. I had my first fill on June 8 at 2.25cc. I feel a bit of restriction (not tons) and I am careful as to what I eat. So...the phoenomena (sp?) for me is.....how can I be dropping in clothes sizes and not be losing pounds on the scale?? Numbers seem to be big for the doc too as he seems to think I will eventually have my band filled to capacity (5cc). Can any of you pro-bandsters shed some light on this for me? Thanks in advance for the information.

I got mine from Lauren'sHope.com. They are a bit spendy, but I am the crafty type and can use that for a sample so I can make some of my own that are interchangeable. Also, you can find some others at www.americanmedical-id.com. I was told that paramedics will not search through a wallet for a card. One prime example: I had to go to the ER via ambulance for kidney stones a couple of weeks ago...and the one of the first things the paramedics and the ER team asked was what my bracelet was for. Made me feel good to know that they do look for that. Just in case because one never knows.

I am 2 weeks post-op. I have tried drinking the protein shakes as prescribed. I have tried about 10 different kinds and all have the same effect. I have been in to see the doc (Monday) and he told me to get my water/Crystal Light since I can stomach those. I am looking for some help. I am at the liquid stage and not supposed to eat anything as of yet. I can't even do jello. I have been in bed for these two weeks with limited/very short outings because I have no energy. Any brilliant insight you can bestow upon me? I am having tons of trouble finding my smile right now. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

Yes, I am still a newbie and I am understanding the terms and ackronyms.....except for this one. Please excuse the ignorance and enlighten me. Thanks so much.

Thanks for all of your insight. This is the best website I have found to have questions answered by the people who have actually done this. Thanks again and best wishes in meeting your goals.
