I have been failing with the lap band and I need support. My last fill was in Sept. 2007 and I have not lost a pound. Over all I have lost around 40 lbs. and I am happy with that but all of that weight was lost in the first three months. I am struggling with throwing up a lot. I am at a loss with WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM is. I had a X-Ray done of my band and they found nothing wrong. I feel like a lot of my problem now is just mental. I think about what I am going to eat all day, wondering if it will stay down or if I will throw it up. It have begun to be a game for me. I experiment with food. I am not eating well at all. As much as I throw up, I would think that I would loose weight but I dont. I have been loosing and gaining the same six pounds for the last four months. I am not getting the support that I need from the surgen. We have one support goup a month that I have not been able to attend for whatever reason.I know that this is my own fault but, I asked to speak with someone that has had the surgery and has been successful, and they would not or could not give me a name. I am upset and angry with myself because once again I feel like I am failing at weight loss.Please tell me what your thoghts are and how to get back in the loosing game?

I can't believe it - I actually jogged. Granted, I only jogged during the commercial breaks and speed walked the remaining time, but it's just too wierd. Me? A jogger? I can't wait to get home and workout tonight! Erin
