Because you have lost so much weight and are doing so well by following the rules and such... I am wondering if we (me at leaste) could have this thread to ask you questions and such.

I tried to search and research you, but that was very tedius. I am sorry I dont know alot of things you may have already posted.

I am just looking for honest answers and oppinions. Some disscussion. Thats all.

Have you ever posted or talked about your prebanding eating habits?
You were 371 and have lost 135 pounds in 6 months, wow.
How did the band help you do the things you couldnt do before to lose weight?

I love yoooou!!!! Nykee you understand that there are many more variables..... I agree with EVERY single thing that is said on the "other Post". BUT...being diabetic, having IR aand PCOS (me)and a yo-yo diet guru, there ARE other factors that will determine our success and rate of loss. I am NOT making excuses....I know from the past 33000 attempts that I dont lose fast. Kuddos to those who do........but it aint me. I would love tips also!

I am very interested in everyones variables. It can only help us understand the band.

Sometimes Its hard to post your jouney because its not the norm or its real abnormal lol, but I would like to hear how people see their band and themselves working or not working for them.

I would like to be able to ask questions and have real disscussions, not a one post telling of your story. (but you can do that too)

Most of all I want people to be able to free and honest and open without fear of hurting feelings or being hurt. Try anyway.

I have MY big ol story of course.

I have noticed vinesqueen has said the band is not working on her although she eats 1200 calories, ect (I dont know the whole story)

There are people who have slipped and eroded and so on...

anyway.. I HOPe this thread can do that.
