Bambi,
Thank you very much for your suggestions, I am going to try to
get another fill within the next couple of weeks if the doctor will
do it this soon as I just had one on Jan 14th. And you are right I
shouldn't give up on my band this soon. I guess I was just sort of
feeling down about this constant weight battle.
