Need A Lap Band Buddy For Support

[Leimomi 1]

I had my surgery almost two years ago and where I live there are no support group meetings.

People who have had them did not have their surgery here in town. I have had a tough time

just finding anyone who have similar issues and able to confide with people who are in the same boat as I am.

I just had my 11cc lap band fill and so slow of losing the weight it has been over almost two years.

I body does not create enough body heat to burn off the calories so I have to work twice as hard.

I do have support from my husband, bless his heart he tries to understand what I am going through.

But it is not enough for me to lose the weight. He has been the only one there for me and I know that he is frustrated as I am of losing the weight.

Hi, I'm in Florida and could use some support myself. I was banded in 7/2011 and have done great - 93 pounds down then BAM ! I stopped being good, starting eating around the band (eating junk stuff) and loosing the will power that had me doing so good. I was walking 2-3 miles everyday and working out some twice a week - now nothing. I just am worn out and have NO MOTIVATION. I love what has happened so far, much smaller clothes, better health etc but I still have 50 more pounds to go and I am just not doing it. My doctor has NO bedside manner therefore he is no help. Fills aren't going to do it either. I was too tight and everything PBd on me so they took .5 out two weeks ago..no more PB and now I can really eat like a little piggy. YEP, I need a buddy too. I know the LB was the best move for me as I have fought my weight forever, but I need to find that "inner me" that had me doing so well just a few short months ago...HELP

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you...

I live in Florida too - maybe we aren't too far away from each other?
