I have been having a difficult time and after reading Dr. Keilin's message, I may have not tried hard enough. Thank you for the inspiration and hopefully in my next 6 weeks the numbers will change.

You "walked the talk!" For those of you out there that just said to yourself "HUH??? What does that mean?" I meant that she showed us that even though she is a gorgeous, tiny, smart doctor who married a doctor, she still had to work. She set a goal, had the same kind of struggle we all have, overcame the excuse mode, and finished better than she had even planned. Sometimes all it takes is a good reason. Hers was the love she had for that child. We all saw it in her writings here. Find your reason to reach your goal. For once in your life remember that it is ok to do it just for YOU! Dr. Keilin YOU ROCK!! :-) I am so proud of you!! You “walked the talk!” For those of you out there that just said to yourself “HUH???

I was banded Jan. 19 and will have my first fill March 9. I suggest that you go back to the full liquid diet, it may help you maintain the weight you lost and you may lose more. I've lost 28lbs so far, yes the last few weeks have been difficult (I'm more hungry now than the first three-four weeks) but I'm trying to hold on. Also, drinking lots of water/liquids help.

Crohn's disease, unlike other inflammatory conditions, can affect the entire GI tract including the stomach and esophagus. Other inflammatory conditions such as Ulcerative Colitis should probably have no bearing on Lap Band placement.
