oh Kryssa, how completely disheartening not to have answers! Just hang in there. I will be checking this for your progress. (((HUGS)))

Oh and I see you are getting a fill tomorrow. maybe that will help, too. i am hoping for one soon myself.

I got the fill and starting today I can't eat as much as I used to. I've lost a pound already. Here's hoping...

Bumping for the new Turtles.

once again, I think it's time to bump this thread.

When i started this, I thought it would be a trivial matter to get diagnosed, and then treated. Oh, if only it had been that simple.

It's been a real struggle. Doctors who feel that they know best, doctors who won't test because Cushing's is too rare, doctors who won't test because they have a stick firmly wedged up their butt.

It's so hard to read about seeming everyone else's successes, to know that until I get this tumor out of my head I will never have any success losing weight. I go away from LBT, and yet I am drawn back. Perhaps it is because I keep hoping that I too will once day have success, that one day I will be a size 14, not a 24.

I wear the same clothes I wore before I was banded.

But at least I know I have answers. I must hold onto the thought that I will have success.

But it is harder still for me to know that other people are not seeking answers. That they are content to accept the band as yet another failed gimic. That they are not willing to push against the resistance that doctors put up.

Is anyone else fighting!? Or am I alone in this? Fight Turtles! Fight!
