No idea what you are asking here? Are you asking if there is any other way to fight obesity? If so, the answer for most of us here on OH is a resounding No! Is there someone specifically that you were asking? Good luck and have a great day. Cathy

I think everyone is a little different. Of course, for minimal weight loss, there are plenty of options. But for someone seriously obese, they have to do what they think is right for them. Once that choice is made, I think family and friends should be as supportive as possible.

This was her post on her blog, that I think she thought had made it here..... ???? about living with the lap-band posted 1 day ago I have had my band for 3.5 years.....I am experiencing some difficulties that I would like to share....and receive any feed back from you if you have experienced any of these symptoms......I find that everytime I lay down and fall asleep I am awakened with fluid shooting out my nose or acid reflux.....it is sometimes a mucous like substance or food. This not only will go on all night but has caused me drhydration with chills and fever and some verdigo..... I have tried many home remedies and they have worked for a 3 days to a week.With these remedies from advil and prilosec to allergies pills and cough syrup...I end up then having to fight constipation with a combination of prune juice and fiber. I should note I try really hard to get to the gym everyday for 1 hour work out with weights and cardio and then later I walk my dog for at least a mile.....I have been able to do so much with my life since my weight loss that I am afraid to have it loosened or undone......so I would really appreciate it if anyone has had success with ridding themselves of these symptoms.....Vickie I have no answer to this question, but perhaps someone else does. I pray for the best outcome for you Vickie.
