    Looking for locals in Orange County.

    The band is not for everybody... that's for sure. A friend at works sister had the band and with it some very serious complications that almost killed her. You have to go into the whole process knowing all of the risks and even the fact that it does not work for everybody. My cousins wife has had it for over 10 years now... she had one fill after she got it and then never went back. She has learned to eat pass the band and has since gained weight. I was banded back in June of 2009. I am down 104 lbs. The weight is coming off slowly and steadily. THIS WAS THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE!!

    I had my surgery on 6/18/09 and I have 47 lbs. I am happy with the time that it is taking to come off. I did expect it to come off faster, but it is giving me a chance to actually work-out and work off the flab.

    I have only lost 30 since my surgery on 6/18/09. My doctor says I am right where I should be. I just had another fill on Saturday... and I can really feel this one. He says the weight should start coming off quicker now. Although, I do not want to lose it too fast.

    suggestions on morning restriction

    Chocolate Protein shake mix, skim milk, crushed ice and a spoon full of peanut butter mixed in a magic bullet type mixer in the morning... Yummy!!
  19. I can still eat sandwiches right now. I go for my 3rd fill on Saturday. I am told that most people have trouble with breads, so far I am not. I have to eat them slowly but otherwise I don't have a problem. I can't wait til my fill on Saturday... Right now I still feel like I can eat whatever I want and I don't want to feel that way. Hopefully things will be better after Saturday.

    I hope I get more restriction with my next fill (Sept 12th). I have been stuck at the same 18lbs lost for over a month now (but at least I haven't gained any). I look forward to the "Sweet Spot" I have heard so much about.

    I started taking a Line Dancing class twice a week with my mom. The class is 2 hours and is quite a workout surprisingly, not to mention a lot of fun!!:frown:
