Hi I was a March bander. But really had a hard time losing the weight and really really hard time. I believe I am just starting the shed the pounds off. I started at 223 when I first go the band, and got down to 195 I couldn't go any lower. So tried a few different methods trainer, gym membership. But couldn't grasp on the new diet and exercise plan until this year when I found a great personal trainer who works with me and gives me great fat burning pills and a detailed food day by day of what I should be eating. I have fell off of it a couple of times but is now making a great progress in April 2009 I weighed in at 215 and now August 2009 I weigh in at 200 pds. Now I am at a point where I can't get pass this 199 -200 mark. But I have noticed I cheat alot more often more of an emotional eater or from being bored so now I am trying to keep myself busy. Not sitting at my desk all day. I am 24 work at a home based business with my family so i live and work in the same place so that had advantages and a whole bunch of disadvantages. So now when i get bored im going to either go was a walk, call a family member or a friend, and start back crocheting.

Hi there,

I was banded in March 2006 by Dr. Sanchez (R.I.P.). Pre opp weight 238. Lowest post opp, 147. I'm currently up to 200 pounds again :(. My band is tight, but I have a few behaviors to make adjustments to and to get back on track. Good to see that there is a group to speak to.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
