I too have been very slow in losing. Finally I am back on the right track. I switched doctors, got a fill and am seeing a psychologist to help me deal with a lot of things. My husband and I went to Hawaii in February. Came home, he got sick. Found out he has lung cancer. Well, being an emotional eater, there was nothing better than chocolate chip cookies to help me through all so far. NO MORE! I am done with that and getting back on track. Going back to Curves and walking each day. I will get there.

My nutritionist at the hospital started a weight loss support group for anymore wanting to lose weight, not just surgical people. They charge $20 a month or $50 for three months. We have blood pressure check the first week, measurements the second week, third week is an open topic decided the week before, and the last week we taste different low fat recipes or cereals, protein drinks, etc. We also get meal plans, exercise handouts and we have an exercise session each week. It's worth the $50 every three months to connect with ours "in person". I love these support online groups but also nice to be with people when losing. The surgeon at the hospital also has a weight loss support group and there is no charge for that. I went but all they did was talk and complain about this and that and was no real meaningful information for me.

I just started on this sight today and glad to see this. I was banded 10-4-06. Start weight, 302, current 236. I believe I qualify or at least hope so. I have not lost in 6 weeks! My surgeon is not happy at all! He wanted me to lose 100 lbs in the first year. I need to get to 179. Have a ways to go. Could you support.

I have a 4cc band and was just bumped up to 3cc last Tuesday. Pretty tight, but so far okay.
