I hope not! I've lost so much hair, however I had a lot and thick hair to begin with. Now I have a lot less and its thinned out a lot. I think I like the way it is now, well I would mind jsut a tad bit more or thicker, but I just want the loss to stop already.

Right there with ya!! Pre-op 279 Surgery 264 (9/21/07) First Fill Nove 15 (3 ccs I think) 2nd fill Dec 17 (no idea on how many ccs) Today 243 (1/26/08) I've only had two fills due to some complications early on. I'm with you on not feeling like the band is limiting me. My roomie had gastric a long time ago, and she is constantly surprised that I can eat "so much!" Now,...when she says "so much"....here is an example: I can eat like a 1/4 baked chicken plus fruit cup plus a couple of bites of mashed potatoes....and the only reason I stop eating, is because I know I need to....not because my lap band is stopping me. I guess it's time to get with my doc to get his input!

For 4 weeks following my December fill...I lost perhaps maybe 1 pound. The fill did, for the first time, give me a negative reaction to food intake. On two occasions, I ate some bread (whole wheat), and then I would be in extreme pain...and feel like throwng up....which would last until I burped. Which was actually great...cause I don't like that feeling, and I certainly don't need to be eating bread. So there I was, not eating anything with bread, no sweets, having a high protein intake and for two weeks of that 4, I began vigorous exercise 45 minutes 5 days a week....and the total weight loss over that 4 week period was ONE pound!!!! And I constantly still felt like I was on a diet...having to have will power to turn down food. Over the past 2 weeks however, someone talked me into trying Imelda Perfect Slim capsules, and I have taken 2 each morning. Over the past 2 weeks I have lost 9 pounds!! And on top of that...the pills make me actually forget about food!! I always have been consumed about thoughts about food, and somehow, this little capsule makes me less impulsive about wanting food just because I see it. I can see people at work with birthday cake...and I don't care to have any..I DON'T FEEL DEPRIVED like I did before. I have not scheduled another fill....as I am currently being very successful, but I sure don't feel like it is because of the lap band!!! In my mind...right now, the two are working very well together and so I will just focus on that. I now have HOPE!!! Last week was a full week being able to maintain less than 250 pounds...and now I am down to 243! Can't wait to get on the scale on Monday!!!

started out at 264 now i'm 205,,,,i'm getting to where i can eat anything and it's worrying me,,,,,my loss has been great but now i'm in my first official stall!

And? How's it going after your fill?!
