Hi There, I am very interested in seeing pics, as I cant completely understand what you are meaning... Sores on ur belling where the skin hangs down? this is so depressing, you finally start to loose the weight, then you dont have the funds to get a tuck or lift...Its very upsetting! Any info would be greatly app. thanks!

Ok...we are almost to 9 months, hows everyone doing?? Things for me have seemed to be slow, but then..Im a bone head to! I have lost 75 pounds this far, and am just very happy that at least im loosing! I feel great! Now for 2010, Im starting at the gym(should have a long time ago) trying to make it a habit to go at least 5 days a week! Hope to hear from you all...take care and good luck! :thumbup:

Hi All...congratulations.....At least everyones is loosing right? could be worse! I get discouraged cause I have only lost 75 pounds this far, but for my new me and 2010...I am GOING to start going to the gym 5 times a week...no excuses! Keep up the good work, believe and it will happen! :thumbup:

I had the lap band about 4.5 weeks ago, this morning when I got up, I have Hives all over my body, the palms of my hands, They are swollen and itchy. Has anyone ever had this problem, Do you think it is caused from the lap band??? WORRIED!!! :laugh:

Had my band done on 3/27 also! How are you doing now?/ where are you at with your fills??

I also had my band on 3/27! How exciting! How are you doing now? where are you at with your fills?? I have been kinda depressed, I have only lost 20 pounds so far, but am finally starting to feel restricted. I would love to stay in touch and to be able to do this together! my email is tekker5@hotmail.com thanks!!!

I was banded on 3/27/09 and I am barely at a 4cc filling, finally I am feeling restricted, and yes thats exactly it, it feels like something is stuck in my throat. It wont stop till I finally throw up what I ate, Its been a little over a week now since my last fill, and things are getting better, Im supposed to go back for another fill on the 12th of June, How do I know if I need another fill or not?? I have been depressed because i have only lost 20 pounds total....

Dont feel bad one bit! I have had the band since march 27th and have only lost 15 pounds! My doctor and nurse keep reasuring me that it will take time to get the band just right! Im to the point that I would love to say to #@&% with it, but, we cannot give up! Is all we can do is hope for a better tomarrow, and keep moving forward! One good thing is, the slower you lose, the easier it will be to keep it off.....hang in there..things will get better!

I had my band the end of March 09....When I went in for my 4 week check up, I gained three pounds, then another two weeks and I lost it, So has of now, I have only lost a lousy 15 pounds and Im going on 9 weeks after surgery, talk about depressing! Im losing hope!

Get a second oppinion! I think you should do it! I have a friend who was over 500 pounds, and he has lost 200 now and looks wonderful! He says its the nicest thing he has ever done for himself~! good luck!!

I can relate! I just had my first fill last friday and I still feel hungry all the time! I have only lost 15 pounds and that is so depressing for me! I go for another fill the 15th of may, I hope that helps me more! I just want to get this weight off.....Hang in there! Its nice to have someone to talk to!

Hey all! :thumbup: I got my band on March 27th, 2009! Im kinda depressed, because as of last friday I have only lost 15 pounds...any suggestions?? I had my first fill then! This is all so new for me, so any help would be greatly appreciated! :smile:
