I've also tried to get on Obesityhelp.com -- they just aren't very friendly over there. There are so many people. You just get lost in the shuffle. I've missed you guys. So, glad to see you are here. It just about made me cry to see the responses! My fiancee was doing a happy dance for me. I've told him all about you guys.

We met at work! I got a new job back in March 2008 and we met a few months later. The rest is history. He is the best thing that ever happened to me. I do not know what I would do without him. He is here for me with this surgery every single step of the way.

His name is Jesse.

Hello everyone! My gastric bypass conversion is going well I lost all the weight that I gained after my band was removed. I had the surgery Jan 19th and I've already lost 37 lbs. This thing is no joke! So, basically I am back to zero and anything I lose from now on I consider actually weight loss! So glad to see more people checking in.... I dont get online much but I wanted to update anyone that might check in

my email is beversman@hotmail.com if anyone wants to email me :thumbup:

I miss all my people here. I cant find another place like it!

Hey ladies how are you all orginal December 2006 bandster. I have done okay with my band could have done alot better and I know that. I will admit I have found ways to eat around my band and I dont mean ice cream. I mean at meal time like drinking with meals adding more milk or butter to my Pasta to make it go down( it is insane and I know this lol)

I have not gained a single lb but I have not lost any weight since jan 08 I weigh 212. I am still shooting for 170 and have decided I must get there some how. I have a tear in my eye writing this knowing I could have done better even been to goal and maintaing but I am getting back on track today.... I need an adjustment but honestly can't afford one right now my insurance now longer pays for them as of the end of 07. I am getting a fill by the end of July started saving... love you all miss u all tons and Brandi hate to hear about the band that is my biggest fear as I pb alot even still

bk...Weight loss is full of ups and downs and plateaus for those of us who struggle with this demon (in my case addiction). I feel your pain in your words. Don't give up. You have made a huge accomplishment by maintaining your weight loss...yay for you!

I have gained back about 18. I am going for a fill next monday. I have had some fill trouble recently...getting filled with what should be too much but no resctriction. I am terrified that they have damaged my 'hose'. I am going back to my original clinic in Tijuana for them to check it out. I agree this is expensive...i just keep telling myself I am saving money on food. lol.

I will keep you posted. Take care and be kind to yourself...I will follow my own advice as well.

I am happy to read everyones good news.

When I went for my fill I found out I had strethed my pouch. They completely unfilled me and I have had liquids and mushies for the last month. I go for a fill July 26...can't wait!

My advice, be careful about eating and drinking together.

I suppose one reason a lot of steady-staters aren’t painting a picture of the post-growth world is it seems premature in many respects.
