Hi, I just found this forum. I had lapband surgery in 2006, I lost 52# right away, but then my life took a very stressful turn...............my husband became very ill and this has continued. I have a stressful job and grown KIDS...............I was told that stress will really have an adverse effect on weight loss with the band. Even though you can't eat much, something happens and you just don't lose. So here I am, maybe 30# less than when I started...............still very glad I have my band, because Lord knows where I would be by now weight wise. My husband is still very ill, seems like something new daily. He is on dialysis and has a multitude of problems. I am the office manager for 2 doctors in a very busy office. Anyway if I try to eat protein, I lose it, seems like the only things I can eat are the things I should not. I know what I need to do, I went a couple of weeks ago and had some fill taken out because I was to the point of not feeling well because I was having trouble even drinking my coffee. Couldn't swallow my BP pill in the AM. Don't mean to go on and on, and I am not whining, just giving my short history. Thank you for taking the time to read about me.
