welcome to LBT! I don't live in wyoming but i just wanted to wish you luck. Have you gone to your band doctor? That would be a great place to start, you might need a fill. It is a lot harder losing weight with the band than i expected too, but i think in the long run it will work. we didn't become obese in a year so we can not expect our selves to lose all our excess weight in that first year. good luck!

I was banded in June 2006 also and have reached my goal weight after losing 93.5 lbs. It can be done. You have to stay on top of your fills...once you recognize that you are able to eat more than you should be then you need to adjust your fill....also, you must be careful not to indulge in foods that will otherwise sabotage your weight loss efforts...such as chips, ice cream, and whatever is high calorie that goes down way too easy. The band is our tool, we are master of the tool and we must use it properly. We still need to be smart with our food choices...this is so important.

I hope you get the help you need because I for one know that the band works if you use it properly and exercise good eating habits.

I was banded dec 2007, it's now right after Valentine's Day and I'm hung at a loss of only 15 lbs. I gain if I eat anything. I only lose on days I've stuck to straight liquids. I'm starving all the time and I'm very frustrated.

I hope to see you are becoming more successful following your fill and I have my second one this week, 2/21, so I'll try to be optimistic.

Good luck!
