Hate to be ignorant, but what does PB stand for? I have had the sliming thing a time or two. I agree, it's like aversion therapy but still much more tolerable than out of control weight gain!

I've been using www.everydayhealth.com. Sounds very similar to the other ones that have been mentioned. Very easy to do. I chose this one because my sister, who lives far away suggested it. She uses this site and we set it up so that we can see each other's journals. It's fun and keeps us accountable. Journaling has been very helpful for me because I tend to nibble. When I write everything down, I have to acknowledge that I actually ate it! Seems silly but it's true! :thumbup:

I was banded 2/18/08. A couple months later my hair began falling out. My pony tail was only half as thick as previously. Had all the suggestions of special shampoos, b12 vitamins, etc. Didn't really follow through with most of it except the vitamins and making sure what I ate was quality nutrition. Don't know if any of this made a difference or if it was just time but my hair is growing back in nice and thick again. I have talked to a few others with the same phenomenon. All of them said that it was a temporary problem. Hope you find that to be true as well.:thumbup:

Hi, I'm new to LapBankTalk and to the whole online forum experience so you'll have to forgive me if I don't know exactly what I'm doing with this. I was banded one year ago. Kind of wish I'd had more support all along. Kind of my own fault as I didn't seek support that was available. I'm looking forward to this forum. I think it's a great idea!
