Not EVERY Lapband story ends in heartache

 I started at 239 in 2006 I am now 147. I was a bit smaller at 139 but after hormones ained some back. My second fill was the hardest but I never required another one having put 4cc in total. I had gained some more after a myriad of health issues I would rather not go into as peolpe on this board stoned me for saying negative things about my personal expirence with a Surgeon. I do want to say I am glad I did it. I did ask why a few times in the start when I was sliming more and getting used to food again. Anyone who says it is the easy way is misinformed. I am happy that I may gain some vanity pounds here and there but I will never be over 200 again

 Maria, I'm confused as to why you think you were "stoned" by people on this forum.  I think the replies you got on the thread about your doctor being inconsiderate were appropriate and showed real concern.  Your OP on the thread was very confusing and those who asked you questions were simply trying to get some clarity regarding your problem.  Please go back and read the responses again....
