I had my band also by Dr Wellborn the most awesome man alive saved me There is a support group in Little Rock on Jan 9th I made it my new years resolution to attend everyone this year you should join us I will be happy to meet you at the door and walk in with you I am excited about getting to attend them I only got to attend one last year after my surgery and I need support lord knows. I really hope to get to talk to you

I to get frustrated and have hit a plateau I have lost 70 pounds since my band surgery in July and now its leveled off, I just keep plugging but I also want to try the calorie fluctuation thing also just to see if it works

I too have just recently went through the same thing I have lived with the same man for six years allowed him to put me down and degrate me and I felt like I did not deserve better I had the lap band surgery in July this year and I too have lost over 60 pounds and my husband also blames my choice to finally leave on my band and "my stupid surgery" as he calls it. I just believe that I started believing in myself that is what happened and realize me and my children deserved better. I am sorry you are experiancing this I know how painful it is I am living it now as for the children my two have been better off and have changed in attitude a full three sixty they are relieved to I just never really understood how bad it had effected them.

It has been four months since my sugery I started this journey weighing in at 298.6 I now weigh 230 pounds yes still a long way to go. Right now I am looking to find more ways to recieve support our monthy support groups are great but more than 2 hours away and I need daily support and hoping to find ways to communicate about the band all my friends are skinny or dont have a weight problem. I just now relized there are other banders out there and people who have questions about having the LAP BAND, if I can help in any way I will be glad to. I am hoping that my experiances with the band might be able to help someone else and help me learn more too.:girl_hug:

I am trying to find an atmosphere where it is band friendly. Looking to find other banders to help me with this process and the emotions that come with it.Am I different?? Am I doing this right? Stuff like that:help:

I too have had the same problems in life but when people ask me I am very open I want them to know about my band. I have always dated men that were unworthy of me I took care of them supported them and taken care of them. I too tried the online line dating and it was great til they saw a picture of me. That seemed to always scare them off but what I have come to relize is that the person you are with should love you for who you are scars, ports and all. Don't be ashamed of your band let them know you made the choice to live agian.
