  • both my spouse and i are way too busy at work to have time to talk to each. i call or text way when i am on my home. I think anything over 3 times a day is too much. Focus on work. If you have time to talk/text/chat that much i would worry about job security.

  • I had the surgery 2 months ago so i am new in the banded world. i have lost 37 pounds but it is work. I eat around 1200 calories a day and work out 4 to 5 days a week. Could i do it without the band? Yes. I have lost and gained the same weight my whole life. My hope with the band is this tool will help keep it off. i will…
