    Negativity at work

    When we see someone accomplishing something we have not been able to we get scared. She is fearful you will be successful. Support her as uch as you can but don't let her step on your boundries! Kepp up the good work.

    Can You Please Help Me Get Back On Track :-(

    You can do this it took me almst 2 years to get all the weight off but I did. I'm maintaining now. Get yourself to a level that you are not hungry all the time. It is hard to not eat when you are hungry all the time. Best of luck on your journey!

    Will they let me get the lap band

    I was a BMI of 36 and had the surgery, insurance I had even covered it at the time. My insurance has changed and they don't cover anything now so I pay for fills.

    Recommittig for 2011

    I'm there with you all, that last 15 does not want to come off! Part of it is my choices though too. So here we go to making goal this year!!!!! Good luck in all your journeys.

    Going in at less than 200

    Are you talking about the criteria to have insurance cover you or just have the surgery (self pay)?

    I want this thing out of my body...

    I am so sorry you are going through this! But what I can add to others comments is that time will help. I love what the band has done for me and even when I have not been the best bandster it has worked. Hope you feel better soon and in regards to hubby he may be a brat now but when he sees you getting healthy and slim watch what happens then!

    Gum?

    Chewing gum also creates the swallowing of air which creates GAS. Gas with our small pouch creates great discomfort so along with the possibility of swallowing the gum you get A LOT of gas.
  15. I am MORE than happy with my choice. It took awhile to reach restriction and that was tough but its the best thing I've done for me!!!!
