I would love to see too... please please!! preciossa23@hotmail.com

I didn't do 3 rounds in a row. I had to wait several months in between each round.

ok so about 3 years a ago I did three rounds of HCG shots and lost 20 lbs each time I did them. I had a book about it which I have thrown away since. However I did end up gaining all of the 60 lbs I lost back. It was extremely difficult. The first 3 days you are soooooo hungry but after that the HCG is in your system and you are not hungry at all. I had to make myself eat. It did work for me and 4 other family members too.

AngelaAnn You look amazing!! Good for you! Before you know it you will be in onederland. I am so close now I can feel it. I got a fill on May 5th and weighed in at 216.5 and today I am 205. I can't wait to see a 1 on the scale. I think I am going to cry, scream and freak!! Shelbie, I love your new picture!! You look beautiful. Congrats on your weightloss of 50lbs at 7 months that is wonderful.

OK so here is a strange question...Does anyone carry more weight on one side of their body then the other making them appear lopsided? I am not talking about breasts I know that is pretty common. I am talking about around the mid section. I am carrying more weight on my right side of my stomach. I am wondering if anyone else experiences this or for the people closer to goal if they experienced this and if there is anything they did about it? I am hoping there is an excersise I can do to help?

Carrie Isn't it exciting. We are getting very close now. I am very determined to get to 199 by my 1 year bandiversary. I know we can do it! Our hard work is going to pay off. We are going to make it!! I feels like it is NEVER going to get here but before we know it we will be in ONEDERLAND and the two's will be in the rear view mirror! Celia

Sabrina, I am so happy for you! I bet you are so relieved that you found out everything was fine. It was worth every penny to find out such good news I am sure. Good Luck and hope you don't need an unfill. Celia

Aww...Thanks Carrie, My weightloss is finally moving..209 today! This fill I got really did the trick! I am so excited! I hope to be in onederland by my 1 year bandiversary JUNE 27TH. Celia

Carrie!!! I am sooo proud of you!! You are doing wonderful!! What an acomplishment to be where you are at right now. YOU GO GIRL!!! :cheerleader: Celia

Hi April and WELCOME!! This is how I handled the "TO TELL OR NOT TO TELL DILEMA" ....after I had researched the band completely and my hubby was on board, I decided I was going to have the surgery. At that point I was ready to answer any questions thrown my way so I had my Mom and Dad come over to my house so I could tell them about the surgery. I thought they were going to flip and be totally against it. To my HUGE SURPRISE my Dad was extremely excited for me and my Mom insisted on going with me to Mexico (which she did and I was soooo glad to have her with me!!!). After I told them of my decision I asked them if they had any questions that I could answer for them. I did this to make them feel more at ease and also to show them I had done my research, was well informed and was ready to move forward. I have one sister and one brother. I did call both of them not knowing what the response would be and told them the same as I had my parents as well as answered any questions. They were both suportive as they have seen me struggle with my weight all my life. My brother even offered to lend me the money if needed!!! I had already planed the money out but it was a nice offer I must say. Beyond my immediate family I have told very few people. I only told people who I know will be happy and not judge me. I didn't need that. So my advice is trust your own judgement on who to tell and not to tell. If you don't feel like you should tell people then you probably shouldn't. If you want to share then share away (it is nice to have a small support system). Remember this is your journey make it as HAPPY AND THE BEST IT CAN BE. Best of luck!! Celia

Thank you sooo much Carrie you are a ROCK STAR!!

Hey Carrie, I am struggling to get enough protien in my diet. What kind of really high protien foods and snacks are you eating?? Thanks, Celia

Samantha, Hey girl I totally understand your frustration! I have been stuck at 213-216 for 7 months!! I finally went to get another fill yesterday and hope that this will be the one that helps kick my weightloss into motion again. I can't wait to see if I have restriction. I have been going to the gym consistantly for 2 months now and just don't understand how the weight isn't melting off. After talking to my fill doctor yesterday I am going to make sure I start eating 60 grams of protien, drinking enough water and increase my calorie intake slightly on the days I work out. GOOD LUCK and keep us posted on how you are doing. Hugs, Celia

Thank you for the good luck you sent my way... IT WORKED!!! I am sooo excited. My fill went GREAT yesterday. I was only expecting to get another .25 cc's but she gave me .5 cc's. That puts me at 2.75 cc's and I really think it will get things moving!! She found my port first try and I was done with my fill soooo quick... Last time it took over an hour! My port is tilted and makes it much more difficult to get to...ugg!! I weighed in at 216.5 yesterday morning and this morning was at 214 so that is totally encouraging. I am headed in the right direction. I hope that when I get past 210 I will be off of the plateau I have been stuck at for 7 months!! My only fear is that I would have to get an unfill if I was too tight. Since that has happened to me in the past it kindda worries me. It is like taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back. So far so good though!! Carrie, Keep up the good work and before you know it you will be in onederland!! You can do it!! You are almost under the 210 mark which is a huge acomplishment!! You go GIRL!! Christy, Don't be discouraged at 220 you have come a long way and you are changing your life FOREVER! Just remember slow and steady wins the race!! You are doing great and I know you will continue to succeed... take pride in how far you have come and draw your strenght from that!

Sabrina, HAPPY 5 MONTH BANDAVERSARY!!!
