Thanks! I certainly will check the video out. Yes, the pandemic really put a setback in place. I'll check out the RNY board too because I want to reimplement healthy meals back into the rush of the day to day schedule and eating on the run. I sit the majority of the day for work and the breakroom and practically at my back. So I want to get back on track with healthy snacks that I can get down early in the morning.(if my band hasn't loosened up that morning for just liquids).

I'll also check out about intermittent fasting and the best timeframe for me because of my crazy schedule. (up at 4:45, work by 6am, off work varies between 2:30pm and 4:30, not including commute time. Home most days by 6pm and hope to be asleep by 10pm if I'm lucky). I just don't want to eat the wrong things when it's time to eat!

Thanks for the info and encouragement!!!!

Thanks Lady Godiva! Been awhile since I've been back on here. Hope all is well. I need to get back on here and see what kind of tips I can find to get back on track with my weight loss. My band isn't helping like it once was and it seems like my band is still loose. When I went to see a gastroenterologist about fill and such he said that it may be time to get it out and get a revision. But I know my insurance won't pay for it. So I want to try getting my eating habits back under control. Just don't know where to start. But thanks for replying!

I created an account just to thank you.

I stumbled upon this site and read your response, and decided to use it on my bellybuttom and behind my ears. For DECADES, I've had a sweaty smell from both places, even shortly after taking a shower. I would use scented hand sanitizer, but it only worked for a few hours. I tried the vinegar, and was shocked that the smell was gone and doesn't come back all day Thank you so much.

let me know how you made out, I had my surgery in 2008 and lost 170 lbs from 360 lbs ....my band was holding 9ccs and I was continuing to lose weight and with new eating habits and food intake amount had to have band emptied to gain some weight back, well its been 18 months since then and gained back 70 lbs and am miserable, and having a lot of trouble getting a fill, Drs. tell me time to have the band removed and go with the sleeve my primary care says to dangerous ...so I am looking for a fill

Hmm .. Interesting situation, you can provide more details about it. My friend also faced a similar problem and is now looking for good specialists who can help him. We have used various sources of information, but we have unique search criteria, so we are still looking for help. I think this is a common problem, since I have seen several more similar cases. Perhaps you should pay attention to https://www.iinsight.biz/, which provides information about specialists providing their medical services. Perhaps one of the specialists on this list can help you solve your problem!
